Glenn Turner and Randy Thompson
Glenn Turner and Randy Thompson were both young, healthy, and southern Georgia gentlemen. Both of them died in their early 30’s of remarkably similar illnesses. Once the family made the connection that they had both been romantically involved with the same woman, and died in the exact same manner, the real and chilling truth is revealed. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss the cases of Glenn and Randy, and the Antifreeze Killer, Lynn Turner.

Family Tragedies
Kelly and Thomas Crain had one child left living with them, 14-year-old, Alex. It was the same for Alan and Diane Johnson, with 16-year-old Sara. Neither set of parents would know their time together would be cut short, and at the hands of their own children. Join us as we discuss these similar cases, with different motives, but they are equally sad.

Carly Ryan
Carly Ryan was a sweet and fun loving 15 year old living in Stirling, Southern Australia. She loved to spend time online, especially chatting with her special friend, 18 year old Brandon Kane. Or so she thought. It turned out that Brandon was not everything he said he was and sadly, Carly fell victim to a deceitful online predator named Gary Newman. This case is tragic and reminds us of the dangers of catfishing, online grooming, and cyber predatory behavior. Join us in the closet this week for the case of Carly Ryan.

Dynamic Duo
You won’t find better humans to bring you your weekly dose of true crime. If you close your eyes, it’s like sitting around with your friends telling you a story. Beth and Cristy are authentic and kind. They appropriately direct venom toward those who commit the crime. We love them and know that you will too!! P.S. go and join their Patreon!
One of my faves!
Crimes and closets has been one of my favorite podcasts to look forward to on Monday mornings! I love Christy and Beth’s relationship and they do a great job of retelling these cases with grace, maturity, and honesty. Anytime I have suggested a case they always respond!
