Assault & Bakery

For a change of pace, Kayla and Liz discuss a case that is absolutely a bummer but has a happy ending. Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped by a religious extremist/certified nut job and managed to get out alive. It’s a remarkable story of individual strength and perseverance. And some casual harp playing. Enjoy!

A woman goes missing on a cruise ship. Did she jump? Did she fall? Did she wander off looking to score drugs? Did she get trafficked off by one of the workers on the ship? All of these theories are explored in Amy Bradley is Missing. Kayla and Liz have their ideas as do the half-dozen people who claim to have seen Amy since her disappearance, her friends, family, the FBI, and cruise workers. Learn about the lawlessness of international waters and what a Charlie Drill is. Enjoy!

It’s that time in the true crime season where Kayla and Liz get really mad about a con artist! It’s so fun! (It’s really not.) But this is a show worth watching and an episode worth listening to. Short version is that 2 teens in rural Michigan start getting anonymous threatening texts. The FBI has to get involved to track down who this texter is. And you’re gonna hate it if you don’t already know! And you’ll hate it even more if you do!

A morning-after-Spring-Forward-recorded episode that is pretty coherent. Yes, Kayla thought they maybe spoke Portuguese in Spain and Liz sorta forgot they were recording and talked to the dog a couple times. It’s fine! Angi’s story is about gold-digging and staging murders. It’s a really interesting case. Enjoy! And keep track of your DNA!

A Dutch teen posts her 16th birthday on Facebook as a public event. What could possibly go wrong? Honestly, it would have been much worse in the US. Listen to learn about day mayors, night mayors, nightmares, and the stereotypes Kayla and Liz hold for the Dutch — and the US.

After a detour back to last week’s episode to clear up some misunderstandsings and ask more questions, Kayla and Liz discuss the unsolved and mysterious death of Sigrid Stevenson. A whodunnit talk with some meanderings into Hamilton (“Everything is legal in New Jersey.”) and lying about murder. Giggle with them through the gore.

Kayla and Liz are back from the holidays (including Lincoln’s Birthday and Valentine’s Day) with a new season of true crime cases. First up is the story of Mary Day - who disappeared as a young girl and then reappeared 30+ years later. Or did she?! Liz definitely had a big miss in her understanding of this episode. So that was fun. Enjoy!
