    Episode 31: The Mauerova Family

    Episode 31: The Mauerova Family

    This might be the most disturbing story of child abuse that we have ever come across. Thankfully, a baby monitor from a neighbor accidentally captured the sinister acts that were being done to two innocent little boys next door.
    How they survived the horrors they endured is unbelievable, but even more unbelievable are the people that did it to them.

Lover of true crime here!

I love this podcast! I’m a “Morbid” and a “Crime Junkie” regular and these ladies need to be added to your true crime rotation! I love that they focus on survivors, too. I listened to the Turpin episodes after watching the 2020 special. Fantastic!

Such a great podcast!

I am super picky about podcasts in this format of two people talking true crime. I find most of them very annoying. This one is perfect! This mother daughter duo is just completely earnest and natural. There’s no effort to be funny or edgy, they’re just being themselves. And their chemistry is so lovely and will make you want to try to get Sarah to adopt you! And they’re both naturally funny, not comedian style funny but just like observations here and there that will make you chuckle. This is my new favorite, I’ve listened to 6 episodes in the last 24 hours.
