Assault & Bakery

It's the final episode of season two and Kayla and Liz are ending with another local-ish story. Set in nearby-ish New Florence, they discuss the story of reptile expert and enthusiast Ben Renick's murder. The case brings up questions they hadn't previously discussed about polygraphs, committing murder together, state troopers investigating murders, sun sneezing, and of course - asparagus pee.

Kayla and Liz cover the 20/20 episode Meet The Other Me. It is the story of Shawn Grate, a modern-day serial killer from Ashland, OH. The detective on this case is a major badass and wrote a book on this investigation. Kayla and Liz are a bit smitten to say the least. Liz also learns what an electric nap is and they share some of their least favorite words. Gagging ensues. And laughing — the loud kind.  

Trigger warning: M**st is said in this episode.

Kayla and Liz (AKA: Columbia’s phinest) did a last minute switcheroo and watched Before Daylight. (Snake Farm coverage is coming. Probably.) Before Daylight is the case of the murder of Jesse Valencia. It’s memorable as a hometown murder for Kayla and Liz (though neither lived in Columbia in 2004) and because a local police officer is convicted for Jesse’s murder — twice. Enjoy this day-off, over-caffeinated conversation!

Kayla and Liz are off the scam crime train and back on the violent crime train with this week's episode. It's the case of Brad McGarry's murder which initially appears to officers as a robbery gone wrong, but there's more to it. This episode gets into 911 practices (again), Kayla's ability to spot a fraud/Liz's inability to do so, and more hot takes on the American justice system's lack of rehabilitative practices.

Kayla and Liz talk about the raid of Amanda's home, her sentencing, and speculate how we'll look back on this case in 20 years.

Kayla and Liz recount episodes 1 and 2 of the Hulu series, Scamanda. If you are unfamiliar, Scamanda is the story of con-artist and scammer extraordinaire, Amanda Riley. The first episode of the show establish Amanda's history and character. Episode 2 digs into the investigation and why people have suspicions about her. Among discussions of these details, Kayla and Liz also discuss how difficult it would be for them to pee their pants. It's relevant.

Kayla and Liz recount the beautiful prison love story of Vicki White and Casey White as told by Netflix's Jailbreak: Love on the Run. It was beautiful love story, until it became a criminal love story, and then it got even messier. Kayla gives some notes on how she would have done this differently. They both agree that a 6'9" prisoner is unlikely to be the man of their dreams.

Kayla and Liz and basement banter are back with an episode of 20/20 this week. Explosive Secrets covers the case of Gary Triano’s death. It’s thorough, but Kayla and Liz still have questions… mostly about why they don’t have wealthy husbands.

Spoiler (for your wellbeing): This episode includes mention of sexual assault. It is not detailed or graphic, but if that is a topic you don't want to engage with, skip this one. 

Kayla and Liz are back at it with The Menendez Brothers on Netflix this week. This case is a heavy one, but they dig in to the main points of the case before contemplating how they hope things would be different if this case were in 2025 instead of 1989. Also, they realize how weird and gross the media was in the 1990s when covering these kinds of high profile cases. (Which is probably a factor in their on-going fascination with true crime!)

Kayla and Liz take a break from murder to discuss the Netflix documentary, Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare. Catfishing cases are Liz's contemporary true crime fascination. They cover it all: Why do people catfish? How do people get away with catfishing for so long? Is catfishing a crime? Who is the victim? Do these people have jobs? Can you graduate from witness protection? What's the time difference between London and New York?
