We step into 1980's Orlando, FL for a classic case of murder for hire, or is it? Virginia Larzelere was accused of getting her son to commit murder for her, but did she also have a hold on the people around her, or did people find the cheating wife easy to blame?

*There's a few minutes of reduced audio on this around 0:26, sorry about that, it doesn't last the whole time!*

For this case we travel to Australia to cover the story of Tracey Wigginton. Tracey came to be known as the "Lesbian Vampire Killer" and "Devil's Wife" in the media. In the fall of 1989, she convinced her friends she was a vampire who needed to feed on human blood in order to survive. Her heinous crime against victim Edward Blalock shook the country, who were later shocked again when Tracey's past and state of mind were revealed. Thank you for listening!

Kash & Maria are celebrating their anniversary.  I swear I (Lauri) had something prepared but due to scheduling issues AND technical issues it did not happen.  I am working on getting an episode out this week but in the meantime enjoy this Patreon Episode from February 2022.  Each month Maria, Kash, and I recap the current news headlines involving women and crime.

In this episode Maria finishes the three part series with the end of the investigation, arrest and court case of Amy Fisher and where are they now.

On part 2 of Amy Fisher, we go over the days leading up to and the crime Amy Fisher committed against Mary Jo Buttafuoco, as well as the immediate aftermath. We also discuss the three Lolita movies, learn that Lauri (not Lori) is more down than Maria is (not Maria), and more about life at Lawn Guyland (Long Island). All excerpts are from Amy Fisher and Sheila Weller's book "My Story." Apologies for the audio on this one, we're re-learning how to be in the same room as other humans again.

It's been a rough week and it's only Tuesday!  We will be back with a new episode next week but just to tide us all over here is an exclusive episode from Patreon.  

Lauri brings the story of Kathleen & Martin O'Brien and their six adopted children.  Trigger warning - we are discussing child abuse.  There are also knock-knock jokes and we try and end on a lighter note.

We talk about the aftermath of the slicing, the media circus, and the details in both John and Lorena’s trial.

We stop by Lauri’s Health Corner, touch on the Anita Hill case, and how John Wayne Bobbitt is evil Homer Simpson. Lorena continues to run The Lorena Gallo Foundation, who states their mission is to expand domestic violence and sexual assault prevention education, emergency response resources and community engagement activities that will improve outcomes for survivors and their children.

Some things we didn't cover: The divorce was official in 1995. John started a crappy band called Severed Parts to try to get money, and Lorena got to dine with, and eventually co-godparent a child with Ecuardo President Bucaram.
