  • Ep. 109 - Interview with an Ex-Animal Cruelty Officer
    Nov 6 2025

    This week we are joined by ex-animal cruelty officer, Ellie Hayes. For her privacy we did not record video and changed her name, please respect this privacy and don't go out of your way to try and find her. Thank you :)


    This episode is definitely heavier since we are discussing saving heavily abused animals. Ellie educates us on the intricacies of what it takes to be an animal cruelty officer and what the job entails. We hope you learn something new and a huge thank you to Ellie for coming on and talking to us!!

  • Ep. 108 - The Happy Face Killer: Keith Jesperson
    Oct 23 2025

    In this episode we discuss the Happy Face Killer Keith Jesperson and his horrific crimes. This case is really strange because there were two random individuals who claimed that they killed one of his victims but actually had zero relation to him or the victim. Weird, right?! And you'll notice that in the thumbnail there are photos of 2 of his victims, one who recently was identified and the other who still has not been identified so take a look at her and see if you recognize her! We also discuss genetic genealogy and how it was used to identify most of his victims and it was really cool to learn some specifics surrounding that science. Let us know if you learned something new with this episode.


    We did have some technical difficulties with this episode so there is no video attached. Not sure what happened but we thank you for your continued support & patience💙

  • Ep. 107 - What Happened to Laci Peterson?
    Oct 9 2025

    In this episode we discuss the disappearance and murder of Laci & her unborn son Conner Peterson. This case is especially heartbreaking because it involves the death of a 8-month pregnant mother and her spouse is the most likely suspect. It's wild that there is no physical evidence connecting Laci's husband to her murder and him & his family, to this day, proclaim his innocence. Listen if you can, it's a crazy story.
