  • Matinee Murder Mystery

    Matinee Murder Mystery
    Sep 8 2025
    Hey Slaycaters, we’re back with another shocking, mysterious death in Mexico — this time, beloved actress Carol Wayne, most known for playing the ‘Matinee Lady’ in sketches with Johnny Carson. Without giving too much away, let’s just say a fight with her travel companion in Manzanillo, Mexico led to Carol storming off. The next time she was seen — she’d be on the news, not The Tonight Show. This case, from 1985, is chock full of suspicious circumstances and an investigation that ranges from shoddy to shady — fueling a host of theories and conjecture to this very day! As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and please stay safe out there!
