We're getting straight to the point today. Today is a joint effort to tell the tragic story of Lauren Smith-Fields. If you know who Gabby Petito is, then you need to know who Lauren Smith-Fields is as well. But, this story goes even deeper - we talk about the historical and societal reasons why people of color are consistently given inadequate and disparate treatment by the law and law enforcement going all the way back to the birth of the United States. This is a heavy one poison pals, but it is a MUST listen.

This is a story that isn't as straightforward upon first glance. Two loving parents rush their very sick baby to the hospital and one of them goes home, but the other goes to jail. All the clues point to anti-freeze poisoning, time and time again. But, is that all just a red herring...? In today's episode, Harini discusses the Patty Stallings case.

Do you know the Ice Man? Rumored to have killed over 100 people for the sheer thrill of it, with varying methods, which made him hard to catch. He was the mixed-media of serial killers if you will (excuse the poor humor). This story is anything but straightforward, so Megan is going to walk you through it step by step. But, grab your blankets and huddle in close to listen because the Ice Man is coming...

It's street cleaning day poison pals and the darkest kind of street cleaning. We're talking all about the 2018 Fentanyl overdosing cases in San Diego. This story hits close to home, so we're bringing out all the PSA's on this one. We answer all questions on the San Diego drug party scene - what's fact, what's fiction, and what isn't widely known.
