    Rebecca, Fred & Kenneth's Episode - "Fate Date" AKA The Toothless-Mini-Peen Killer

    Send us a text They’re baaaack! After a long hiatus filled with caffeine, musicals, kids, and chaos, Danielle and Drew are back in the studio — and kicking off Season 2 with one of Forensic Files’ darkest episodes: “Fate Date.” This case takes us to Tulsa, Oklahoma, 2004, where a seemingly ordinary night of online dating turned into a deadly setup. When Rebecca Barney invites her new internet acquaintance James “Jimmy” Kidwell over, tragedy strikes — leaving three people dead, a house in flames, and investigators unraveling a digital trail of deceit. But that’s not all… We’ve got a major announcement — a brand-new bonus series called Cameras & Chaos where Drew flips the script and takes Danielle deep into the world of reality TV drama (and maybe a some reality-TV True Crime).
