In this week’s episode, while Shelby and Charlie close out the show and prepare for an indefinite hiatus, they invite you to join them as the liquor is poured, the jokes start flying, and the secrets come out while diving into the tumultuous, horrific life of Richard Speck. A Chicagoland native, Richard Speck would eventually be forced to grow up in an abusive household following his fathers death, where he would suffer a traumatic brain injury. Years later, and thanks to an immense lack of good parenting, his life would spiral until he brutally assaulted, and robbed, a house filled with nurses. Tune in to hear all about it - and much more - in the second to last episode of the show before we take a break!
