In this final episode of Murder& Season One, besties Ali and Jess are back—Diet Cokes in hand—covering one of the most heartbreaking and complex cases in true crime: Andrea Yates.

Ali takes listeners through the psychological depths of the case, unpacking severe mental illness, postpartum psychosis, and the warning signs that were present long before the tragedy. Jess brings her cultural lens—exploring societal expectations of motherhood, stigma around mental health, and how systems can fail families in crisis. Jess and Ali also pose the question of what role religious fundamentalism played in this tragedy. Was Andrea Yates in a cult?

This episode approaches the case with care, focusing not just on what happened—but why, and what can be learned in its aftermath.
