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. 🎨🖤

In the after-show, we wish Ashley an amazing trip ✈️, chat about what we’ve been watching 📺 and reading 📚, and of course get hyped for our LIVE SHOW on Nov 30 at The Admiral Club in Spryfield! 🎟️ One craft included – tickets available now!

👉 Follow, rate, and share if you love a little craft with your crime!

This week on Crafting the Case, Ashley brings us the strange and somber Nova Scotia tale of Percy Corkum, the young boy from Hantsport who was shot and killed in 1903 after throwing a turnip — a bizarre, heartbreaking piece of local history that feels more like folklore than fact.

Meanwhile, Tara and Sandi get creative with Day of the Dead–inspired vases, using paint markers to design colorful tributes while chatting about their upcoming live show on November 30th (tickets out now!).

Stick around for the after-show, where the trio catch up on what they’ve been watching and reading, and share a few good laughs between the true-crime chills and crafty vibes.

Welcome back to Crafting the Case! 🎃

Meanwhile, Ashley and Tara are here for some seasonal crafting chaos — carving pumpkins, sipping something cozy, and occasionally gasping at just how wild this case gets.

🧩 In this episode:

The Zodiac’s confirmed crimes and taunting letters

The ciphers and media frenzy that made history

The suspects, the best theories, and why it’s still unsolved

A cozy fall craft session gone slightly chaotic (thanks, Ashley & Tara 🎃)

💬 Drop your theories in the comments!

Spooky season is officially here! 👻 In our first October mini-series episode, Tara dives into the chilling history of the Ouija board and the eerie legend of Zozo, the spirit said to haunt those who dare to play. Meanwhile, Sandi and Ashley get crafty with spectral style—creating ghost wreaths that are part cute, part creepy, and 100 percent on-theme.

In the after-show, we recap our TikTok LIVE, and debate whether we’d actually touch a Ouija board ourselves (spoiler: Tara would not, Ashley and Sandi - yes).

Grab your glue gun, light a candle, and tune in for the start of our Crafting the Case: Spooky Series!

Crafting Conspiracies – Our Big 20th Episode Special

Twenty episodes of Crafting the Case! To celebrate, we dive into some of our favourite conspiracy theories — from the spooky to the silly — and pairs them with crafts made entirely from leftover supplies in true DIY fashion.

In this milestone episode we reflect on twenty episodes, share the conspiracies that fascinate us most, and challenge ourselves to make something fun, quirky, and totally unexpected with the scraps on our craft tables. It’s conspiracy chat, creativity, and plenty of laughs — the perfect way to mark our 20th!

Episode 19 is here! 🎉 Tara and Sandi are still elbows-deep in decoupaging—continuing the crafty chaos from last week—while Ashley takes us on a fascinating (and slightly morbid) detour into Nova Scotia’s strangest historical deaths she uncovered in old newspapers. 📰💀

From bizarre accidents to head-scratching obituaries, you’ll hear stories that make you say “Wait…WHAT?” all while Tara and Sandi are trying not to glue their fingers together.

Stick around for the after show, where we dive into recent movies we’ve watched, share some life updates, and maybe laugh a little too hard about our own misadventures.

Crafts, crime, history, and a whole lot of personality—Episode 19 has it all!

Episode 18 – Cut Outs and Close Encounters✨🛸

From Nova Scotia’s legendary Shag Harbour Incident to eerie lights over Texas and mysterious photos in the Scottish Highlands — we’re diving into five of the most famous UFO sightings in history. Sandi takes us through the cases, the witnesses, and the mysteries that still can’t be explained, while Tara keeps her hands busy with some creative decoupaging.

Craft + true mystery = the perfect combo. Buckle up — this one’s out of this world! 🌌

This week, we dive into one of the most infamous true crime stories of the 2000s. Tara takes us through the heartbreaking murder of Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old student studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, whose case quickly spiraled into an international media storm. The trial and wrongful conviction of Meredith’s roommate, Amanda Knox, and her eventual acquittal became a lightning rod for debates about justice, media sensationalism, and how narratives shape public opinion.

In the crafting corner, Ashley gets us into the fall spirit 🍂 we roll up their sleeves for some fall flower arranging. We chat about the shows we’re currently watching, share laughs, and in the after-show, Sandi surprises the girls with something special.

Grab your headphones and some hot apple cider — this episode blends the heavy and the heartwarming in classic Crafting the Case style.

This week on Crafting the Case, Ashley takes us through the mysterious 2014 disappearance of Marty Leger, a 30-year-old cyclist who set out for a ride near Spider Lake in Nova Scotia and never returned. Despite one of the largest search efforts in the province’s history, Marty has never been found — a case that still leaves behind heartbreak and unanswered questions.

Meanwhile, Tara and I break out the paints for some dot art on rocks, a calming craft to balance out the heaviness of the story. We also taste-test some incredible cookies from Phat Cookies (spoiler: 10/10 would recommend 🍪). And as a lighthearted twist, we show off our own DIY “merch” — hats with our tagline — not for sale (yet).

Grab your paints, grab a snack, and join us for Episode 16: Rocks and Ride.
