People are the Worst episodes:

September 03, 2025Lauryn Licari | 168
** ORIGINALLY RELEASED AS A SUBSCRIBER-ONLY EPISODE IN MARCH 2025 . At the time we covered it, Lauryn did not want her name to be public, so we use the pseudonym Hailey. **

We covered the case of Kendra & Lauryn Licari for a bonus episode on March 24, 2025. With the new release the Netflix documentary, "Unknown Number", we've decided to re-release for all to hear.

In 2020, 14 year old Lauryn Licari started getting harassing text messages from an anonymous bully. This lasted over a year and finally the parents got police involved. What they discover is shocking and repulsive.

August 28, 2025Sandra Birchmore | 167
This case blew my mind and I have to start with this PSA: stick around until my very last sentence... New information came out 2 months ago and it throws in one more twist to an already twisty, infuriating case.
Sandra Birchmore was born in Stoughton, Massachusetts and didn't have a great life. Her mom was chronically ill, her dad was out of the picture, she didn't have a lot of support...until she found the Stoughton Police Explorer's Program, a youth program for kids interested in police work. Sandra always dreamed of becoming a cop so this was right up her alley & she thrived in the program. As an adult, she still struggled and on February 1st, 2021, after a tough couple of years, she was found dead in her apartment. It was quickly ruled a suicide, but fortunately, that ruling wasn't going to fly with friends and family.

August 14, 2025Anita Wooldridge (Part 1) | 165
In June 1998, Anita Wooldridge was getting ready for a lunch date when she hears a knock on the door. She opens it to see an unexpecting but familiar face. Even in a rush, Anita is nice enough to invite him in and offer him water, but when she turns her back, he tazed her. She attempts to fight but he uses the stun gun twice more and she is left helpless at the hands of this monster. The terror that unfolds afterwards is horrifying (and infuriating), but investigators will not rest until they find out what happened to Anita and who is responsible.

August 07, 2025Brad McGarry | 164
In May 2017, coal miner, Brad McGarry, spent the morning at a family brunch and left feeling excited to meet up with his secret lover. Nobody knew who the secret hookup was, except for the code name "DJ". As it turns out, "DJ" had a huge secret and as they say: two can keep a secret if one is dead.

July 24, 2025Tracey Harris | 162
In 1990, 22-year-old Tracey Harris was dropped off at home after work & was never seen alive again. Her ex-husband, Carl Harris, reported her missing and one week later, she was found in the Choctawhatchee River in Ozark, Alabama. The suspect was very obvious until someone came forward with a secret they'd been keeping for 30 years. At the end, you'll also hear a quick overview of another Ozark, Alabama case: the murder of JB Beasley & Tracie Hawlett.
