Hey Godchildren! This week, we’re talking the tragic murder of an aspiring model Paula Sladewski.  On January 2nd 2010, Paula went missing after a night of partying with her boyfriend Kevin in south Miami. Within the day, her body was discovered, but no killer was in sight. This case remains unsolved nearly 13 years later. 

To pair with this episode, we tried Lily's milk chocolate peanut butter cups! (spoiler. . . they might be bitter!

Hello my peeps!

We are back with another episode and this time we are going to a little place that you may have heard of ALCATRAZ.  We are going to diving into the history of the island, its time as a military prison, and then a federal penitentiary.  And if you stick through the history lesson - we will tell you about the ghosts that haunt this place. Because any place that has so much connection to violence will definitely have bad energy & a giftshop!

This is a long one so you are gonna need some caffeine! Speaking of caffeine, we "tried" Awake caffeinated chocolates this week and we are hooked!

Check out our insta for pics of this place- we took a lot of pics!

Hello friends! This case is a heavy one! Charles Quansah is the most notorious serial killer Ghana has ever had.  The scars the Accra Strangler left on the families, the community, and Ghana is unimaginable. 

While researching this case, we discovered that there is not a lot on who these women who were brutally murdered were.  Besides a haunting roll call list, we really do not know much about their lives or who they were. If anyone knows more about any of the victims mentioned, please reach out to us because we want to tell their stories! Because we want to remember them. 

NOTE: I will be reading a list of the women taken tragically at the  41:41-43:00 minute mark. Please skip if this is triggering.
