The Wet Bandit
Brook Baker was a small town girl with big dreams. She wanted to be an investigative journalist and wasnt afraid to dig deep and expose truth. Until the day she was found brutally murdered in her off campus apartment in 1997. Despite DNA evidence, her murder remained unsolved until almost 2 years later when another college student, Erika Norman, was also murdered in a very similar way. The two girls never knew each other in life, but are forever connected in death by their tragic murders at the hands of Brian Jones. Join us in the closet this week for this awful and sad story of two young lives, and how their murdered was caught by a bathtub.
Thank you to listener Olivia for this case suggestion.

System Failure
Tiana Notice was a smart, beautiful, 25 year old who was dedicated to bettering the world around her, politically and socially. When she met James Carter II on an online dating website, she thought she was adding something positive to her life. It turns out, James was not what he seemed, and despite all Tiana's attempts to get help from law enforcement, nothing could stop James's darkness. Join us in the closet this week for this very frustrating story of systematic law enforcement failures that result in a tragic murder.

Customer Reviews
Lovin your podcast!
Thanks so much for putting out a podcast that discusses killers I’ve heard little to nothing about (and me being a crime junkie for 30plus years that’s not easy to do!)
friends tell interesting stories
Two sweet gals in their closets, one in North Carolina and the other in St. Louis. It feels like we’re hidden away with our flashlights listening to crazy crime stories and we all get to be totally disgusted together and sometimes laugh but feel guilty about that maybe. Their soft voices are quietly fun and interesting.
This is so good, funny & different
I loved how different this is and makes me laugh oddly enough!
