Silence of the Fam

By Chrissy Sheehy

Bob Sheehy has been interested in true crime for the majority of his life. He, in turn, passed on this interest to his daughter. Bob has been a stand up comic since the early 90’s, and takes a humorous approach on personal and general trauma, another trait he’s passed on to his daughter. Together they discuss murders, and crimes. Tune in for some fun banter, some light comedy, and some crime.
