How Not to Get Murdered

When a child goes missing: Ask law enforcement to immediately enter your child's information into the NATIONAL CRIME INFORMATION CENTER (NCIC) Missing Person profile. There is no waiting period. Ask for a case number and investigator, inquire about a BOLO and ask about FBI involvement if circumstances are mysterious or there is kidnapping suspected. After talking to law enforcement, call the NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISSING & EXPLOITED CHILDREN NCMEC. They have a hotline 1-800-The Lost. They provide support, resources, and help with creating and distributing missing person posters. Keep your own detailed record of communications and anyone involved in the search. Contact Missing Children Organizations like Black and Missing foundation.

Join Fruitloops for our biweekly minisode, “Love You, Byeee!”

In this episode from the week of 04/28/25, Wendy and Beth serve up a delightful mix of true crime, current events, and the occasional personal overshare. They explore various remedies for exhaustion—none of which involve quitting podcasting. The conversation then takes an unexpected detour to Norway, where they dive into the quirky national tradition of “Easter crime.” From there, they excitedly break down their favorite shows, offer a funny therapy tip, and wrap up with a touching family moment sparked by a Hamilton rewatch. The news gets intense with political drama and controversial claims, prompting some venting, but spirits lift again with weekend plans and a reminder to check out the Fruit Loops website and socials, because where else would you go for murder, mayhem, and memes?

In this collab episode, Wendy & Beth talk to Madison McGhee, the host of the hit podcast Ice Cold Case.

Ice Cold Case is about Madison’s investigation into the murder of her father John Cornelius McGhee.  She is an amazing story teller and creator, and we are thrilled that she was able to join us to talk about her story, her podcast, and her upcoming tour.

Check out Ice Cold Case here: https://www.icecoldcase.com/

“In 2002, Madison McGhee’s father, John McGhee, was shot and killed in his own home in Belmont County, Ohio. Driven by her desire to find justice she began conducting her own investigation into his murder that remains unsolved to this day. The police investigation did not yield any significant leads, leaving Madison and her family with more questions than answers - until now.

Join her not only on a quest for justice, for closure, for answers and she stops at nothing to answer this question: Who Killed J.C. McGhee?”

Join Fruitloops for our new biweekly minisode we are calling "Love You, Byeee!"

In this jam-packed episode from the week of 04/27/25, Wendy and Beth take us on a rollercoaster of real talk and random fun. From venting about tough weeks and political fatigue to finding healing by the ocean and joy in their revamped podcast, these two cover it all. They ponder big stuff like ancestry, activism, cultural ethics, and even resurrecting extinct animals (yep, really). Sprinkle in some reality TV escapism, awkward chats with Trump supporters, and bizarre crime stories, and you’ve got a wild, thoughtful ride. It’s deep, it’s quirky, and yes… listener discretion is advised!

In this episode, Beth and Wendy discuss the case of James Edward Pough, a black man who went on a deadly shooting spree in Florida in June 1990, killing nine people. The massacre at the GMAC payment center in Baymeadows is regarded as one of the earliest workplace mass shootings in U.S. history, sending shockwaves through Florida and the nation. But there was more to the story; authorities soon discovered that Pough had killed two people and injured two others the weekend before.
