It’s well into the school year but Stacey and Kelly are feeling very academic. New clothes, new pens. Sometimes green pens that get left behind at a crime scene. In this episode, we try to unpack how schools - specifically colleges and universities - have become fraught with tragedy. Like how none of us can unsee or unfeel the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students who have heartbreakingly become the Idaho Four. Then we tell the story of Annie Le - a graduate student at Yale University whose murder should never be forgotten. Annie disappeared four days before she was supposed to marry her college sweetheart. Instead of walking down the aisle, she was brutally murdered by yet another violent man with an inferiority complex. It’s a theme, beauties, and we’re not happy about it. To make up for it, we’re giving you a beauty segment that, in the words of Queen Rihanna, is like diamonds in the sky. Or on our faces. And our nails. Shine bright like a diamond, beauties. This is a rough one.
