The coroner said he couldn’t eat and cried for days, after recovering her body. This is the excruciating life and atrocious death of Lacey Fletcher. 

This case is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard, but Lacey’s story needs to be told. In telling it, we also have hope to avoid this ever happening to anyone else. EVER. AGAIN. 

This case is not as cut and dry as it seems on the surface. We are going to go over the facts of the case, as well as try to get some answers as to the WHY and HOW of it all. There is a lot of misinformation out there about this case as well, and a lot of it was used as clickbait. Trust me, the facts need not be embellished to make this case absolutely mind-blowing. 

Join me on a deep dive into this horrible case, and I promise to hold your hand the entire way.

In a small Michigan town, an online bully was terrorizing several middle school students for years, causing emotional and mental distress. The drama then started to ripple through the school, and outwards to the school staff and parents of the students. Soon the whole town seemed to know about this online campaign of terror. 

But who was the culprit? What did they want? And what was their motive?

Join me today as we spill ALL the tea on this bizarre case. 

I am excited to be back inside you. Your ears, I mean. Don’t make it weird.

We are back back back back back again, in the 1700’s, for another Olden-Timey murder pamphlet case!

Today’s case involves a mother and daughter, and one of their young apprentices. Get your dismemberment pants on, because it’s going to get gruesome.

Put on your fancy feathered triangle hat, because we are talking in Old English today about two different murder cases from the 1700’s!

Let us bid adieu to this century for a bit, and discuss a couple crimes of yesteryear. 

First we will discuss the case of Elizabeth Brownrigg, who tortured her apprentices with the help of her husband and son, leading to the death of a young girl. Then we will discuss the case of Johnathan Williamson, who held his wife captive and was convicted of murder.

Next week we will cover one other case from this pamphlet.

Go get a horn of ale, or a goblet of wine, and some bread with butter,  and settle in for these terrible tales.

Whether or not you have seen the cult classic, dark comedy film  ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ it doesn’t really matter. Because I am here to tell you about real life stories… of corpse puppetry. 

Today we cover a rash of crimes from Brazil, to the US, to Japan, where corpses are used in one way or another for financial gain.

I will also give you an overview of the film, and a little bit of BTS tea, just for fun.

Hello, my little Gremlins! Welcome to a super happy, cheerful, and festive Christmas episode!! *HEAVY SARCASM ALERT* 

Last year I had so much fun doing the Krampus episode, but this year I am here to bring you the most brutal, tragic, and horrific Christmas true crime case that I could think of. Because I love you. 

Turns out, a lot of podcasts have done this case, but listen. They didn’t do it like I’m gonna do it, so don’t even bother. I will give you every single detail, stitched together from interviews with police, investigators, the coroner's office, survivors, neighbors, and the list goes on. 

Join me today as we discuss the brutal massacre of an entire beloved family, on Christmas Eve.

This case is insane in its scope, victim count, and mishandling, and one that more people should know about. Yet it was only covered by ONE news source. Why is that? We will get into all of it, in this episode. 

A serial killer was convicted in 2022, but not before claiming the lives of at least 24 women in Dallas, Texas. The case was mishandled- to say the very LEAST- by everyone involved, including the police, the medical examiner, and the elderly care facilities in which these murders took place. 

Today we will break it all down, and get big BIG mad over the way this case played out, as well as talk about what changes can be made to make sure something like this never happens again. 

Join me as we dissect this case, and remember the victims of a remorseless and psychopathic murderer.

Today we are wrapping this series up and covering a lot of topics! 

These include the appendix, our skin, the digestive system, toenails, the abdomen, the nasal sinuses, the ACL, the Achilles tendon, how humans have way too many bones, our demanding diets, the immune system, and ‘junk’ DNA.

Let’s discuss our quirks, thanks to good old evolution!
