We survived 2020, and we are happy to share with you our first Someone is Probably Listening episode (formerly known as Deadly Shorts). We kick off the show with some updates, then jump into a few follow-ups on some of our more recent cases - specifically on Linda Stoltzfoos (episode 9), a ruling on Joel Guy Jr. (episode 15), and a bit more info on the Santa Claus, GA murders from the Holi-slay episode. Next, we read and respond to some listener emails, share a couple of confessions, and then O'Dell closes the show with a listener story about Ward Weaver III, a man from Oregon City, OR who killed two young girls in 2002. As it turns out, Ward Weaver Sr. & Jr. also had a few psycho tendencies of their own. The family that slays together...

*** Trigger Warning: Both stories in this episode include violence against children. If you are especially sensitive, you might want to jump forward to the Christmas Urban Legends segment.***

Happy Holidays, peeps! We have an extra-special holiday episode for you today. While we've been covering murders and disappearances that happened around the holidays all month, both of today's stories happen on or around Christmas. We've loosened the rules a bit as both of the stories in this episode have been solved. Erin starts off with the story of Bruce Pardo, a man who dressed up in a Santa outfit and went on a killing spree. O'Dell then tells the story of the murder of four members of the Daniels family in Santa Clause, GA. We close the show with creepy, crazy Christmas urban legends.

It's our last regular episode of 2020, and we go out with a pretty gruesome bang. O'Dell starts the show with the story of Anthony Michalowski, a 22-year-old man whose head was found in a Pittsburgh dumpster two days after Christmas in 1988. Erin then ups the gross meter with her story of Joel Guy Jr., a Tennessee man who butchered his family on Thanksgiving in 2016. O'Dell ends the show with a holiday gift for Erin - an in memoriam that involves lots of whiskey and a Christmas day spontaneous human combustion.

It's the last Deadly Short of 2020! On this episode we spend some time offending pretty much everyone before we settle in for some listener write-ins and questions - one of which inspires a new segment titled, "True Crime Confessions*" which will be another standing segment on future Deadly Short episodes. Next, we follow-up with new info on some of the cases from our more recent episodes. Erin closes the show with a listener-suggested story about Elmer McCurdy, a bumbling crook in life, but whose corpse was very popular, and ended up bringing in a lot of money.

*Don't forget to send us your own irrational fears that you've developed due to your obsession with true crime. We'll gladly share it on the show. Send us an email or leave us a voicemail from our website and we'll share it on a future episode!

On this episode, Erin talks about the murder of Latricia White and the disappearance of her boyfriend and his son Chance. Next, O'Dell talks about the disappearance of Nikole Betterson, a two-year-old girl who seems to have simply up and vanished - or is there more to the story?
