On this weeks episode it's time to catch up on everything that we have missed in the last couple of weeks in the true crime world. From a few cold cases being solved to everything going on right now in the true crime world. We are going to catch up on it all. 

It was November 1987 when newlyweds Gail and Rick Brink’s promising future was suddenly stolen in the most brutal way imaginable. Found murdered at their Michigan home, the crime shook a quiet community and left investigators scrambling for answers. For decades the case remained unsolved and behind it all was a secret that someone thought was worth killing for.

Right now In true crime: Donna Adelson update, Diddy sentencing. 

In 1991, 4 girls lost their lives at a yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. The case has had many twists and turns including false confessions and 2 men even being arrested and convicted with the murders. They were later released once DNA excluded them. Now in 2025 investigators have named their suspect, Robert Eugene Brashers. In this episode I discuss the press conference and how they came to discover Robert Brashers was responsible and also discuss his other crimes. Rest in peace to Sarah Harbison, Jennifer Harbison, Eliza Thomas and Amy Ayres.
