And with the shootings seeming to be completely random, finding the gunman would prove to be a challenge.

Customer Reviews
Love this Pod!
I started listening when there were about 30 or so episodes in the bank after my sister recommended it to me since I loved Olivia on her season of MAFS. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I love the rapport between John and Olivia and look forward to new episodes every week! Now I recommend Check the Locks to all my friends looking for a new True Crime podcast to listen to. Great job you two!
Check them out!
Olivia and John always stay consistent with their podcast. They seem very down to earth and relatable. They keep the banter to a minimum and get right into the cases. I like the variety of different cases they cover, and that you never know if you’ll be diving back in time or learning about a case that is currently unfolding. I highly recommend checking them out!
Go team
I just love listening to the chit chat in the beginning to every crime you guys bring to the podcast. Both of your voices are great to listen too! They story telling is really captivating. I can’t wait to listen to the next episode! You guys are amazing!
