Happy Halloween and welcome to episode 54!

Cassie starts the episode off with the story of recently apprehended serial killer, Jason Alan Thornburg. His "missionary" killings spanned at least 3 states with 5 victims (maybe more), but we'll have to wait for his trial date to be set to learn more about this delusional asshole.

Hannah closes out the episode with yet another child rape and murder. Six-year-old Alanna Gallagher goes out to play one afternoon in July and is found just a few hours later wrapped and dumped in the middle of her neighborhood. Her killer looks like a Juggalo, lights Alanna's memorial on fire, and shoots a cop in the groin. Yikes.

We also have some special announcements! Enjoy!

*As usual, sorry for the throat clearing, lip smacking, etc.

Hello dear listener!

We begin episode 51 with the murder of Carmen Croan in Odessa, Texas. A young girl heads to a night club to make up with her boyfriend but ends up disemboweled and practically decapitated on the side of the highway near an oil pump jack. Was it a knife wielding jewelry salesman, the hometown hero boxer, or is her killer still at large? 

We close out the episode with the murder of Jaquaree Simmons in Houston, Texas. The victim of a negligent, racist, and brutal attack in the Harris County jail left the 23 year old man dead in his cell. What really happened to Jaquaree in February 2021?? The sheriff has taken action but the investigation is still ongoing... we hope. 

*Sorry in advance...we drank the death drink cocktails tonight so, prepare yourself for some ice clinking and crunching (on Hannah's part) in the back ground*

Happy Halloween and Happy 50th Episode!!

Cassie opens the episode with the murder of Kala Golden-Schuchardt in Spring, Texas. 

Hannah closes the episode with the murder of Adele Kaufmann in Mason, Texas.

HAIL SATAN Y’ALL, it’s our Halloween episode!

We begin episode 49 with an update and recap regarding the case of Melissa Trotter. (Episode 46 might make a little more sense now)

Hannah then covers the 2014 case of Kimberly Hill; a victim of parricide down in Corpus Christi. This case truly brings the traditional horror elements of Halloween to the party: hammers, sewage, necrophilia, suicide notes, and bestiality…. just to name a few. It begs the question, “How well do you really know your own family members?”

 Cassie wraps up the episode with an infamous cold case that just recently made headlines. For 40 years the victim was only known by an article of clothing, but decades of police work, and possibly even Henry Lee Lucas, kept her case in the spotlight. DNA ultimately answered the question of her identity, but will her rapist and murderer ever be known?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We've got a (semi) light hearted and sober episode this week! We left in a few sidebars and tangents for some much needed humor after last week's insanity, so skip ahead if you'd like!

We begin episode 47 with a follow up story regarding Cassie's new house. First it was blood stained carpet, now it's shower ghosts and a possessed Alexa?? Stay tuned for an update after they sage the place...

Hannah then tells y'all the story of the murders of Shanna and Diederik Vandewege in Fort Worth. Craig Vandewege, the husband of Shanna and father of baby Diederik, is the most likely suspect...but he didn't get that memo. Was he mentally ill and killed his family during a psychotic episode, or has been planning it all along? No trial date has been set...and YES WE DID LOOK IT UP!

Cassie finishes the episode with the one off of Annie Stone in Jefferson, a small town that Hannah literally drove through last week! Annie was a girl in her twenties partying like it was 1877, until one day she was shot and killed. The courts flip flop on the killer's guilt or innocence for several years, but family money may have had a huge part in the trial's outcome.

We talk about some updates in the cases of Sandra Bland and ZuZu Verk as well!

Thank you all for the lovely reviews on iTunes btw! Happy Halloween!!

We have returned! We bring you episode 46 from Cassie’s new house yeaaaa!!

Cassie starts us out with the listener suggested case of Melissa Trotter in Conroe. This case is insane! Circumstantial evidence, possible wrongful conviction… or maybe the guy really did kill her? Biggest question is, WHERE IS THE FREEZER?? Listen and you’ll understand.

Hannah ends the episode with the disappearance of Kelly Wilson in Gilmer. This small town gets overwhelmed when the teenager goes missing, but tensions quickly rise when her case eventually becomes connected to a local “cult” of child rapists. CULTS, CORRUPTION, CONSPIRACY…OH MY!

We hope y’all enjoy the speculation as much as we do! 

Happy Halloween!

This week Hannah tells the story of a former border patrol officer who survives a hired hit on his life and several poisonings. These events give new meaning to the phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

Happy Halloween!

This week Hannah and Cassie keep it pretty short and sweet for y'all!

Hannah begins episode 45 with a double homicide in Conroe. Grace and Tiffany Purnhagen were two young sisters who were brutally killed in the woods. Did their killer truly have help or was it all done by one man.. or a bottle..or a broomstick?

Cassie closes the episode with the murder of Diane Maxwell Jackson. Her case had been cold for decades, but in the end her brother's persistence and career change might have been what helped solve her murder.

We'll be guest reading on this upcoming Let's Not Meet episode being released this coming Sunday (February 10). Go support Andrew and his amazing podcast!

We start 2019 with an extra long episode for y’alls listening pleasure. We begin with a social media recap and a few recommendations! Warning…this week we drink vodka and say “parallels” far too much.

Cassie opens the episode with the death of Glenn Felts, a vibrant and fun bar owner in Terlingua. Was his death a result of self defense, head trauma, forbidden love, or a booze fueled accident? We also discuss our questions and theories on reasonable doubt and jury selection.

Hannah then finishes out the episode with the strangely familiar murder of Penny Scaggs in Austin. What do you get when you take one dissolving marriage, a steel pipe, a carving knife and add a military husband and an office secretary? You guessed it…murder!!

(HANNAH IS VERY AWARE THAT SHE ACCIDENTALLY SAYS “PEGGY” INSTEAD OF “PENNY” A TIME OR TWO, SORRY IN ADVANCE…IT WAS THE VODKA)

Enjoy episode 44! Happy Halloween and don’t forget to message us if you want a pin or whatever.

So our Christmas episode is a bit late this year even though we recorded a week prior to the holiday....what's new.

We have a couple of weird ones this week! Hannah begins the episode with the longest case in the history of this podcast (hence why her notes weren't fully finished) and discusses the unsolved Christmas Eve murder of Cheryl Springfield in Ft. Worth.

Cassie then closes out the episode with the deaths of three young girls possibly at the hands of their father, Cameron Willingham, in Corsicana. The Innocence Project steps in and arson investigators don't make sense.

Enjoy the last episode of 2018 that's full of tangents and stupidity. Happy Halloween!

Hey everyone welcome to episode 42! This week we begin by gushing over Vanderpump Rules and yelling at our lovely, short lived, listener "Amy". 

Cassie starts out the episode with the listener suggested case of Lucky Ward. She talks about a homeless man who prowled the Midtown and Montrose areas of Houston (for most likely decades) robbing and murdering African American women. With no set date, his trial is almost 10 years in the making, and there could be countless other victims police have still yet to discover.

Hannah finishes the episode out with the murder of Cedric Owens in Dallas. What happens when you mix alcohol, baking soda, PCP, and a long history of violent behavior due to sexual assault trauma?? Obviously a brutal stabbing and genital removal....

Happy Halloween!

Hey guys, we are back with a new addition to our Survivor Story series, long time no see!

In this episode Hannah covers the rape and attempted murder of Bridget Kelly out in Killeen, Texas. Bridget's story is truly one of horrific trauma that would set anyone back in their life. However, she overcomes her attack, makes a difference in the rape culture/community, and ends up finding love all along the way.

Hannah won't stop saying "at this point" throughout the episode (sorry in advance) and Kane makes a distant audible appearance. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! If you get bored while spending time with family this weekend, or are the only one at the bar and want some company, then we have a super fun yet super bummer episode for you!

We start episode 41 with the brutal axe attack of Betty Gore in Wylie. Hannah makes fun of people having an affair, reads off too many phone conversations, and recreates a hypnosis therapy session! Was it Candy, Betty, Cetty, or Bandy??

Cassie ends the episode with a horrific case of child abuse out in Arlington. Davontae Williams was just 9 years old when his life tragically ended after countless years of torture. Listen to hear about the two women who made his life a living hell.

Happy Halloween! 

NATALIE'S INFO:

Hey everyone welcome to episode 40! 

Cassie starts this week's episode out with the case of Sandra Bland in Prairie View. A simple traffic violation turns into a wrongful death for a young, black woman. Next, Hannah heads out to Washington state where child rapist and murderer Joseph Kondro could be responsible for more than just the rapes and murders of two little girls in the small town of Longview.

Enjoy!
