  • ***WARNING: The crimes discussed in this episode include sexual assault, listener discretion is advised***

    When Bobby Joe Long's violence towards women escalates, he develops a pattern of picking them up or abducting them from "the strip" in Tampa. Many of them were involved in the sex industry but some of them were just unfortunate enough to live in it's proximity.

    Though detectives connected a few of the cases early on, they had no leads as to who the perpetrator was and Bobby was picking up the pace. It was a grave error on his part to let Lisa McVey go. Her incredible ability to remain calm and remember details was his undoing.

    Tune in as Elysia gives what details she can about each victim and is happy to leave this horrific story with Lisa's happy ending. Meanwhile, Savannah is mad that Elysia won't tell her Bobby was castrated.

  • ***WARNING: The crimes discussed in this episode include sexual assault, listener discretion is advised***

    After years of abuse, 17 year old Lisa McVey had believed her life would come to an end on November 3, 1984. She never thought that she instead would find the motivation and courage to survive an unimaginable attack that lasted over 24 hours. Shockingly, the perpetrator drove her back to her neighborhood and let her go.

    Lisa would later find out just how lucky she was as the man who abducted and held her at gunpoint to assault and rape her was Bobby Joe Long. Previously known as the "Classified Ad Rapist", his violent crimes against women escalated to murder in 1984. Investigators believe he committed more than 50 rapes throughout the south Florida area through the early 1980's and murdered at least 9 women in the Tampa Bay area.

    Tune in for Part 1 as Elysia describes the incredible tactics Lisa used to stay alive and the path that Bobby took to serial killer status. Meanwhile, Savannah is stunned to hear Florida is actively working to roll back the child labor laws to what they were back then.

    It may not have been kismet that Jodi Arias met Travis Alexander at that Prepaid Legal convention in 2006, but that didn't stop her from believing they were meant to be. Unfortunately, Travis didn't realize Jodi wasn't the "one" until after things had gone too far.

    Instead of making a clean break, Travis continued seeing Jodi to fulfill a very specific need while looking for a wife of purity on the side. Despite Jodi's knowledge of this, she continued to grow incredibly possessive of Travis. When his friends finally tell him they will no longer help him continue the toxic relationship, things escalate quickly.

    Tune in as Savannah gives us the background on these lovers turned codependents and Elysia stresses about trying not to victim shame while simultaneously recognizing Travis' culpability in this extremely toxic relationship.

  • First responders found more than they bargained for when Jeff Lamb reported he arrived home to find his wife beaten to death. They also found Cathy's two dogs severely beaten but still alive.

    Though the dogs were unable to save her life, they were able to provide detectives with clues as to who the killer was. One thing was for certain, it was not the burglary gone wrong that Jeff proposed it was.

    Tune in as Elysia walks through this not planned so well murder and Savannah speculates on the real hard hitting questions like "How does a guy like Jeff get all these women?"

  • Already facing a financial crisis that would cause life as they know it to cease, the Ward family never anticipated the tragedy to come. A 911 call recorded a dispassionate sounding Bob Ward informing the dispatch that he shot and killed his wife.

    Was it a textbook true crime case of a man who's failing finances pushed him to do the unthinkable? Some say yes, but the family says no.

    Tune in as Savannah makes her best effort at covering this case unbiasedly and Elysia is left with a lot of questions about investigators alleged activity at the Ward family home.

  • After teacher/basketball coach, Jimmy McClain, missed two days of work and no one was able to reach him, a wellness check by police was executed. He was found deceased with multiple gunshot wounds. There was no sign of forced entry nor any signs that the home had been burglarized.

    It was evident that Jimmy must have known his killer, but the police were forced to investigate in circles when it appeared no one he knew would have motive. After getting side tracked by a scandal involving one of Jimmy's basketball players, detectives finally catch a break on a cell phone data report that leads to a witness with more information.

    Tune in as Elysia and Savannah show their lack of knowledge on basketball and question where is Jimmy's scandalous student now. Spoiler... we don't know.

  • ********WARNING: This case contains details of sexual assault********

    Best friends, Liz Reiser and Brandi Hicks, had put a girls movie night into motion when they were interrupted at the local Hollywood Video. Approached by an older man asking for a ride just a mile up the road so he could get home to say good night to his wife and kids, the teen girls debated on whether to help. Ultimately, they agreed that as long as they were together, it would be safe enough.

    Unfortunately, this was anything but true. The mile turned into a drive into the next town and though he was in fact a husband and father, his intention was definitely not to get home.

    Tune in as Savannah gives the account of both the investigation and the survivor. Meanwhile, Elysia remains confused by the entire event, especially the man's audacity.

  • When 25 year old Corey Parker was found brutally stabbed in her Jacksonville Beach apartment, investigators immediately had their suspicions that she knew her killer. Unfortunately, determining the identity of the perpetrator wasn't so easy. Being a social butterfly with many friends and acquaintances made narrowing down the persons of interest a little more difficult. Having several different DNA samples from the crime scene certainly did not help either.

    After ruling out all those suspected from Corey's list of friends, detectives had no choice but to wait for more leads. Over a year later, when a reward was offered for more information, a couple local residents recalled a former coworker who lived in the building next to Corey and how he lied about his need to leave town shortly after her murder.

    Join us for this listener requested case as Elysia shocks Savannah with the plot twist she never saw coming and we discuss the difficulties of believing a man who claims innocence when DNA places him at the crime scene.

  • Upon welcoming their adopted daughter, Marlene, into the family, Jim and Naomi Olive almost immediately began to struggle with parenthood. With Jim often away working, Naomi was left to face motherhood and her mental health disorder alone much of the time. This dynamic continued and by Marlene's teen years the toll it took on Marlene was evident.

    After they chose to prescribe a cocktail of drugs to "help" Marlene, she really began to spiral. That was when she met Charles David Riley. It was love at first site for Charles and Marlene eventually found a reason to love him back. Despite an age gap and his proclivity to deal and abuse drugs, Jim and Naomi gave the young couple their blessing. A decision they certainly came to regret.

    Tune in as Savannah shares this teenage killer tale as old as time. Girl meets boy, boy would do anything for girl, girl says kill my parents. Meanwhile, Elysia has many questions as to why teen killers do what they do.

  • ********WARNING: This case contains child victims of sexual abuse********

    As a student Christian missionary, Richard quickly figured out that he would be whole heartedly trusted with the children. After getting away with his first crime against a child in Cambodia, he decided foreign, poverty stricken communities were easy targets. He then earned his certificate to teach English as a second language and moved through East Asia ultimately settling in Malaysia. Under the premise that he was teaching English and a professional travel photographer he took advantage of the villagers who had accepted him.

    Through a rather complicated investigation, Richard was finally caught after 9 years of abusing what is believed to be hundreds of children. Once imprisoned, he found a fate far worse than most of us could imagine.

    Keep your "vom bucket" close by as Elysia tells this incredibly disturbing story about Britain's worst Pedophile and the final encounter he had with sex offender, Paul Fitzgerald. Meanwhile, Savannah attempts to delay the story with more palatable conversation, some of which we've saved for you at the end so be sure to listen past the credits!

  • Karen Gregory had just taken the next big step to moved in with her boyfriend. While he was away on a business trip out of state, she was going to spend the time unpacking and settling in to their new home. When Karen failed to answer the phone or contact him for nearly two days, he began to worry and called friends, family and a friendly neighbor.

    That neighbor was the first to discover Karen's body and call first responders, or was she? It was another neighbor, George Lewis, that investigators inevitably had to set their sights on despite not wanting to believe the fireman and neighborhood watch leader could be responsible. However, he insisted that all he was guilty of was panic and making a bad decision not to call authorities.

    Join us as Savannah shares this story of a not so watchful neighborhood and learns what the Florida panhandle is while Elysia shares her deep fear of central Florida. Correction: Gulfport is, in fact, in the Tampa Bay area and not in the Florida panhandle. Geography is clearly not our strong suit.

  • Brandon Hutchinson's life had always been riddled with trouble, but when he moved to Missouri to get away from it all he found himself in deeper trouble than ever before. The addiction he had been trying to run away from only grew worse when he began working for his cousin's new husband, Freddie Lopez. One bad decision led to another on New Year's 1995 when Freddie's party began to come to an end leaving Brandon alone with Freddie's right hand man, Michael Salazar, and brothers Ronald and Brian Yates.

    Though each of the men have slightly differing accounts, what is known for sure is that the Yates brothers ended up shot multiple times, first to disable them and eventually to execute them. Brandon, Michael and Freddie all faced the same consequences until a deal was made and a sudden turn of events provided an opportunity to see how different the court system can be when a defendant has money.

    Join us to hear this insane he said, he said, he said story as Elysia tries to make sense of it all and Savannah gives the what for on reality tv.

  • It was lust at first sight when the successful Dentist, husband and father, Colin, met the younger wife and mother, Hazel, at their children's swim lessons. They quickly began an affair and were anything but discreet. Once caught by church elders, they agreed to end the relationship and attend counseling with their spouses. However, the two started their affair again and came up with a plan on how they could be together and not lose their good standing in the church.

    Thanks to some questionable determinations from investigators, Colin and Hazel were free to be together for years. Of course, it didn't quite turn out to be the fairytale ending they had hoped.

    Tune in as Savannah shares how this narcissistic abuser destroyed everyone he touched and how having an affair turned into hiding bodies. Meanwhile, Elysia has very little commentary other than she hates everything about it and wants to crawl out of her skin.

  • Chris Wright was living the dream in 2007. He was newly married to his beautiful wife, Bianca, lived in the equally beautiful Salt Lake City, and worked a successful career in real estate. Everything changed though, when he took his neighbor up on an offer to introduce him to Ken Doleszar. Ken was a potential investor for Chris' latest real estate project.

    When Ken was gunned down in front of an eye witness just two weeks before he was due to invest in the deal, Chris and Bianca's lives were flipped upside down. The case built on a questionable eye witness testimony, a lack of expert testimony, and mostly circumstantial evidence somehow still managed to convince a jury that Chris Wright was the shooter.

    Join us for this lengthy but truly wild ride where Elysia gives not only the facts of the case, but the conspiracy theory as to why it's possible Chris was set up. Meanwhile, Savannah does a terrible job at disclaiming that we're not saying who did it, but she's definitely saying Chris is innocent. Also, stay tuned after for the rest of our conversation on our confidence in driving trains versus flying planes!

  • Despite using safety precautions when meeting a date from the ever popular app Tinder, Sydney Loofe was not prepared for what was to happen the night of November 15, 2017. Her date, Audrey, had spent some time gaining Sydney's trust and that night and convinced her to meet at her apartment. Unfortunately, Audrey was not who she claimed to be.

    Audrey was actually Bailey Boswell, a woman in her twenties who had lured several women into a cult created by her much older boyfriend, Aubrey Trail. This time was different though. Instead of luring Sydney into a fantasy sex scandal revolving around vampires and witches, they lured her to their apartment with the intention of killing her.

    Tune in as Savannah shares the gruesome details of how and why these two decided murder was the ultimate goal and Elysia dies on the hill that romantic relationships like this should not exist though she's too flabbergasted to concisely state it's because of the imbalance of perceived power.

  • Paul Kruse wasn't about the life he grew up in. He dreamed of living a life of luxury and he legitimately did for a little while. When things fell apart and he was forced to work for more modest means, he decided he was willing to lie, cheat and steal his way to the life he wanted.

    He might have gotten away with his scheme for longer had he not made gross advances toward the underage daughter of his assistant, Amy. She knew something was sketchy about his business and wanted him to pay for trying to take advantage of her child. Little did Amy know that turning him in to the FBI would be just the beginning!

    Tune in as Elysia gives all the details on this unbelievable case of fraud, pedophilia, and murder for hire and Savannah laughs until she "can't" and tries to end the show.

  • When Joel and Lisa Guy hosted their children and grandchildren for Thanksgiving of 2016, they had no idea their dreams of retirement would be abruptly destroyed. Joel Michael, their youngest and only biological child together, was less than happy for them. After all, how is a 28 year old man supposed to live if Mom and Dad can no longer afford to pay his bills?

    When Joel Michael arrived for the holiday, he came prepared with a to do list and plastic totes in tow. His sister noticed him behaving oddly but never could have suspected what his real intentions were. The following Monday police received a call that Lisa Guy had not shown up to work which was especially odd because it was also her retirement celebration. A welfare check on her would prove to be the most gruesome scene the officers had ever encountered.

    Join us for this special Thanksgiving episode when you can stomach some gore as Savannah chokes out the horrific way this son "fixed" his financial dilemma and Elysia explains why it's unwise for anyone to assume they know what they will inherit after a parent's death.

  • Laurie Houts had it all at just 25 years old. She was loved by her family, friends and peers at work. She had started a career she loved at Adobe Systems and she had a blossoming relationship with boyfriend, Brent. On September 5, 1992, Laurie left work early to get ready for a wedding she and Brent were attending that evening. Hours later she was found in her car just a mile from her office with a nylon rope around her neck.

    Tune in as Elysia tries her very best to explain why despite forensic technology advances, the State can no longer retry the one and only suspect, John Kevin Woodward. Meanwhile, Savannah tries to guess the outcome and helps break down the meaning of insufficient evidence and why it is so definitive in court orders.

  • Today's episode is brought to you by exhaustion and caffeine. Adam Sapinkowski was a teenager who seemed to have it all. Wealthy parents who gave him a private school education, regular access to $40,000, and a girlfriend that lived in the same neighborhood. What more could he ask for? No one's really sure. Adam story seemed to be that his father, Jim, was too hard on him and had even beat him before. Does that justify shooting both his parents?

    Tune in to hear Savannah try to explain this very senseless case that leaves us with more questions than answers. Meanwhile, Elysia presents another scenario involving a racoon and a fridge full of food for said racoon.

    For those of you that enjoy the banter, stay tuned at the end where you'll hear outtakes on why Big Jim changed to Regular Jim, Savannah's dirty mind, and our love for Ava Ryan and her nuts.

  • Well known quadruplet parents, Jamie and Sheila Bellush moved their family to Sarasota, Florida in 1997 to live a more peaceful life away from her ex-husband, Allen Blackthorne.

    Join us for both a good laugh and cry as Elysia shares this true life tale of the monsters that walk among us and Savannah gives her insight on why professional hitmen will always require more money.
