Lisa Ann Millican was a 13 year girl living in the foster system of Georgia. She mysteriously goes missing in September of 1982, and was later found murdered in a canyon in Alabama. Her killers then went on to abduct and murder a 22 year old woman named Janice Chatman. Unknown to Lisa, her death helped law enforcement in 3 southern states to apprehend a serial killer couple that had no intention of ever stopping. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss this tragic case of multiple victims, and some very depraved murderers.

Father's Day Special: Bob Harris and Steve Clayton
This week we have 2 very special guests. In honor of Father's day, we are joined by the Husbands of the Closet, Wes and Emery. And we will be bringing you two cases of wives who killed their husbands.
First up is the murder of Bob Harris. Bob and Colleen Harris were a lovely and well-off California couple in the early 70’s. In 2013 Bob was shot in the head and murdered with Colleen suffering from amnesia with no memory of this traumatic event. What police uncovered about Colleen’s track record with husbands would shock and disturb them.
Next is the case of Steve Clayton. Steve was a very successful entrepreneur. He found several companions over the years, but the relationships always ended. That is, until he found Lana, a sweet nurse from Oklahoma. Nine years later, Steve was found at the bottom of the stairs in their home, from a heart attack, or was it? *Crimes & Closets is a true crime podcast production of Skoldon, LLC Sources for Bob: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/191486549/robert-edward-harris
