his week on Crafting the Case, we cover the abduction and recovery of Elizabeth Smart — the search, the breakthrough, and the powerful story of survival that followed.

And because we cannot sit still without a glue gun in our hands, we’re still deep in our junk art phase, decorating picture frames with whatever random treasures we can find.

Serious case. Sparkly chaos. Classic CTC.

Conspiracies, crafts, and chaotic snacks? Yep, it’s that kind of episode.

Ashley breaks down the recent news and conspiracies around Kurt Cobain’s death, while Tara leads us in one of our favourite crafts yet: junk crafting! We hot glue random items onto hair clips, lighters, and picture frames with wildly fun results.

Plus, in the after show, Sandi brings Japanese peach drinks and we do a Doritos taste test you won’t want to miss.

Welcome to Episode 32 of Crafting the Case — our first episode in the new studio!! 🎉

We’re celebrating the glow-up with a Valentine’s-themed episode. Tara brings the case energy, Ashley walks us through making adorable DIY roses using Q-tips (we were shocked how cute they turned out), and we wrap things up with a chill aftershow where we share what we’ve been up to behind the scenes and how the studio came together.

Craft along with us, hang out, and welcome to our new creative home 🖤

✨ New studio

This episode of Crafting the Case takes us to New Brunswick for the story of Bennie Swim, a case remembered for its shocking ending and the conversations it sparked across Canada.

We explore what happened, why the community reacted so strongly, and how this moment became part of a larger discussion about justice and capital punishment.

While we talk, the girls create mosaic trays using broken plates, a craft that perfectly mirrors the themes of fracture, repair, and making something meaningful out of pieces.

True crime, history, and cozy crafting — all in one episode.

In Episode 30 of Crafting the Case, Ashley explores the strange story of Granger Taylor — a man from Vancouver Island who vanished in 1980 after telling his family he was leaving to board an alien spaceship. Decades later, remains of his truck were found in the forest, but his disappearance still raises big questions: tragic accident, mental health crisis, or something truly unexplained?

Meanwhile, Tara and Sandi keep things light and crafty by making simple Valentine’s Day suncatchers from everyday supplies — colourful, cozy, and full of creative chaos. If you love mysteries with a side of crafting, this one’s for you!

In Episode 29 of Crafting the Case, we’re getting cozy and creepy at the same time. 💐😈

While Sandi and Ashley make Valentine’s wreaths with dried flowers, and cozy craft vibes, Tara walks us through the disturbing true story of the Synanon cult — a group that began as a drug rehabilitation program and slowly evolved into one of the most manipulative and dangerous cults in U.S. history.

We explore:

How Synanon began and gained legitimacy

The psychological tactics used to control and isolate members

How the group escalated into abuse, surveillance, and violence

And how a “self-help” movement turned into a full-blown cult

It’s a chilling case wrapped in cozy crafting — the perfect blend of true crime, cults, and creativity.

🧠💐 Grab your glue gun, light a candle, and craft along with us while we unpack one of the most unsettling cult stories out there.

This week on Crafting the Case, we head out into the foggy waters of Nova Scotia to explore shipwrecks, ghost stories, and the strange mysteries of the Atlantic. We dive into the history of Scatarie Island, the dangers of the so-called “Death Coast,” and the eerie legend of the Teazer Light — a burning ghost ship said to appear in Mahone Bay.

Along the way, we talk about how real tragedies turn into folklore, how places remember what people don’t, and why the ocean seems to hold onto its stories longer than we do.

And because we’re us, we balance the spooky with the cozy by crafting 2026 bingo cards — a fun, creative way to map out hopes, goals, and a few ridiculous dreams for the year ahead.

It’s a mix of mystery, memory, and making things — just the way we like it.

In Episode 27 of Crafting the Case, we take the show LIVE and head straight into the shadows with Nova Scotia hauntings — all while crafting decoupage Christmas ornaments alongside an incredible audience.

This episode is packed with spooky local stories, festive creativity, big laughs, and that unmistakable live-show energy. It was one of those nights where everything clicked: amazing people, eerie tales, and crafts flying everywhere.

Whether you’re here for the ghost stories, the crafting, or just to feel like you’re in the room with us — we’re so glad you’re listening.

🎄👻 Cozy, creepy, and completely Crafting the Case.

This week on Crafting the Case, Ashley walks us through the unbelievable true story of Nate Norman—a small-town teen who built a full-blown marijuana smuggling ring. She picked this case because she loves the movie Kid Cannabis, and the real-life story behind it is even wilder.

Meanwhile, Sandi and Tara dive into a new set of alcohol markers, colouring their way through the chaos as we catch up on:

Crafts, crime, and chaotic energy—just how we like it. 🎧✨

This week, Tara dives into the chilling case of Richard Ramirez – The Night Stalker, weaving in her mom’s memories of living in California during his terrifying spree. 🕯️ Meanwhile, Ashley and Sandi keep things creative with mindful Zentangle painting inspired by creator Lizi Phoenix – a soothing art form to balance out the chaos. 🎨🖤
