This episode dives headfirst into the dark and tangled world of some truly chaotic killers. First up is Hattie Whitten, a small-town poisoner with big-time body count energy. Then we descend into the unsettling and confusing pit that is Ottis Toole—a walking red flag who made a career out of grotesque crimes and false confessions, most notoriously alongside his equally deranged partner-in-lies, Henry Lee Lucas. These two were less a dynamic duo and more a disaster in denim.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of the Adam Walsh case and Ottis Toole’s disturbing and disputed involvement. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

And because nothing can stay serious for too long around here, Mischa makes a guest appearance—providing top-tier ASMR with her enthusiastic crunching of chips and queso from Lauren’s favorite local Mexican joint. Yes, she has excellent taste. No, she’s not sorry.

Murder, manipulation, queso, and canine cameos—it’s a little horrifying, a little hilarious, and a lot of no thanks.
