Hi Sleuths! Have you ever wished Jessica's goldendoodles would be more vocal while we record? If so, this is the episode for you ;) 

This episode is a total Jessica case... twist and turns leaving you unsure how you feel. Jason Corbett died at the hands of his wife and father in law, was it self defense? What was happening inside their home in Meadowlands?

Hi Sleuths, we are saying trigger warning on this one. It is old timey AF but also, he was a twisted person.  This may be the first documented serial killer.

Hi Sleuths! Jessica and Elizabeth are in their feelings over this one. Bryce Laspisa left to head home at 11:30pm and never made it there. On the way there was so many strange encounters and so many ALMOSTS that will break your heart.

Hi Sleuths! Elizabeth did a case from this century! It's the story of Theranos. Was Elizabeth Holmes too ambitious or just a fraud? Listen and tell us!

Keller, Texas is our stomping grounds and this case takes place right in the center of it. Gregg Williams was shot in his home in the middle of the night, was it murder or suicide? 


These sources are good and we are the sleuths we are because of them! Show them some love!!
