Listen Later

Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to talk about the senseless murder of Lauren Giddings. Lauren was a law student who was on her way to do big things with her life, before Stephen McDaniel took that light and extinguished it. Stephen was a peeping tom turned murderer who went on to do TV interviews about Lauren’s case… which ultimately seals his own fate.
