Murder Amongst Friends

Welcome back to MAF Recommends, everyone! We have 2 shows for this week's recommendations. The first is Spacey: Unmasked (2 episodes) available on Max. The second is Fallen Idols - Nick and Aaron Carter (4 episodes) which is also available on Max. Both series examine abuse among the rich and famous. Check them out and then give us a listen!

We're back with a regular episode this week. Joanne tells the story of Zinaida Portnova and you won't believe what this one woman accomplished in a very short life.

Welcome back, everyone! We are trying out a new format; one week we will do a deep dive into a documentary or mini-series from the world of True Crime that we think you should check out. Then the next week we will be back with a story told in our traditional way.

This week's recommendation is The Pillowcase Murders, a 3 episode documentary series currently available on Paramount+. Check out the show and then give us a listen!

Welcome back to MAF! We have practically two episodes in one this week. First, we have the obligatory discussion about Baby Reindeer*. We offer our thoughts on the story as well as the craftsmanship of the show. Then, Joanne shares the story of North Dakota's only serial killer. Taking place at the turn of the 20th century, there are details about this case that are still unknown to this day.

Baby Reindeer discussion: 2:27-28:45

Eugene Butler's story: 28:46-1:01:41

* This conversation was recorded before the public interviews with "Martha"

Believe it or not, we're back! We've been away for quite some time and we're sorry about that. We've been hiding in our secret MAF underground bunker but have emerged to bring you a brand new episode to start a brand new season.

To kick us off, Joanne tells the very recent story of the disappearance and murders of Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley - two Kansas mothers and their inadvertent run in with the fringe group, "God's Misfits."

Hi everyone. We had to touch on current events this week, but we do also have a main story to share with you. We discuss a judge who was caught sending hundreds of (highly inappropriate) texts to her bailiff as a man was on trial for murder. If you want to skip directly to that story you can find it here: 8:24-32:14

We are back from our short break! This week we cover it all from a few unfolding stories, to a groundbreaking scientific discovery, to a documentary about the most horrific "haunted house" ever made.

From the archives of the greatest true crime show of all time, Forensic Files, comes the story of Dr. Schneeberger and how he was brought down by one of his patients. Joanne cracks the case in about the first 5 minutes, but see if you can figure it out even faster.

Welcome back to your favorite podcast. Listen as we discuss the horrors that went on at a Canadian pig farm in the 90s.

We have a shorter episode this week, but we have done 60 of these now and we want to thank everyone who listens, has listened, or will listen in the future. Listen now to our story of Kelly Cochran and the bodies that seem to keep piling up in her wake.
