This week on Law and Omen, Chanelle covers the tragic case of Jesse Hess and Chris Lategan. Since we recorded on Friday the 13th, Kristin decided to cover the history of the so-called day of bad luck.

Join us every week as we explore more of the myths, legends and crimes that shape South Africa and the world.
