Hi Sleuths,

It took 51 years + 3 geniuses but the code has been cracked. The Zodiak Killer no longer has a secret message & what we know what he spent all of his time writing. 

We had this sent to us several times so we wanted to drop a little bonus into your feed. Listen for our take!

We explain the technology in a real general way - here are some sleuth sources we used that are next level with the facts

Welcome back, Sleuths!

This week Elizabeth told us about the toybox killer. It's as twisted as the name leads you to believe.  Jessica had never heard of this one and had some strong feelings.  We cannot wait to hear what you think. You will absolutely have feelings about this one.

This story has a lot to it and there is even more to unpack so we listed Elizabeth's sources below and suggest you continue your sleuthing here after you give it a listen. We are so grateful for the awesome reporters and storytellers who make this possible for us and would LOVE if you read some of their works!

Welcome Back, Sleuths!

This week Jessica tells the story of Lisa, Jayden and Baby Underwood. This story takes place in Jessica and Elizabeth's town, their senior year of high school. 

Lisa Underwood was a Mom and a business owner and her story deserves to be heard. 

We also want to tell you about https://www.thehotline.org/ . This is a resource for domestic violence support. It has many options to get in contact and there are also resources available to help you support a loved one who you are concerned about. 

Jessica used the resources below and there is so much more to unpack here so after you listen, we suggest you continue your sleuthing on these sites.
