This witch has no integrity. james renner is an award winning journalist you grifting glorified ad reader. rebecca you make a living profiting of tragedy. rebecca youre a failure whos only skill is reading advertisements. rebecca i hope you pay for your immorality.
A classic for a reason
Have been a fan of CWO since 2015. Just realized I’ve never written a review so here it is - So grateful for the thoughtful and insightful discussions about each true crime property. I feel like I’ve been with the show as it’s evolved and it’s the only one I’ve stuck with this long. Will always appreciate the discussions and have felt like I’ve grown up with Kevin, Rebecca, Toby and Lara!
