We're a true crime podcast with a pop culture edge!

Pop Culture:

Rebecca and Tamara discuss the fallout from the documentary Leaving Neverland. We have an update on Wendy Williams and we discuss the binge worthy Vanderpump Rules cast!

True Crime Stories:

The theme for this episode is hostage/kidnapping situations.

The Cheshire Murders- The Petit family home was invaded by 2 lowlife criminals. The family were terrorized and held hostage in their home for over 7 hours. Rebecca covers the details of the heinous crimes committed against a mother (Jennifer Hawke-Petit), father (Dr William Petit) and their 2 daughters (Hayley and Michaela). It would leave only one brave survivor. 

The second story is about the Swedish Fritzl. Isabel Ericksson was drugged, raped and kidnapped. She was held in a soundproof bunker at a doctor's farmhouse. Tamara describes the circumstances that led to the kidnapping and what happened in the soundproof bunker. It is a crazy story that sounds like a movie out of hollywood. It even includes disguises...several masks!
