    A Corrections Officer & An Escaped Convict Walk Into A Bar

    Last Friday a female corrections officer appears to have helped an inmate escape from the Lauderdale County Prison in Alabama. The inmate, Casey White, was scheduled to stand trial for murder in June. The CO, Vicky White, had turned in her retirement papers the day before. Was she threatened into this plan, or did she orchestrate it willingly? Your guess is as good as mine. But they remain at large as of this recording.

    A Doctor and a Torso

    Depending on who you ask, Dr. Crippen may have murdered his wife and dismembered her body, burying the torso in the basement. Or maybe he didn't. Maybe he killed someone else. MAYBE, he didn't kill anyone at all. Let me know what you think at the end by leaving a comment if you’re listening on Spotify. Or send an email to pineovercoatpod@gmail.com
