In this week’s mini episode, Marie talks about the mental load many people carry every day — the constant planning, remembering, and invisible responsibilities that often go unnoticed. From managing schedules to carrying the emotional weight of family life or more, this episode explores why mental overload happens and why it’s okay to ask for support. A reminder that caring for others shouldn’t mean neglecting yourself.

In this episode of Deadly Tea Podcast, Marie & Savannah dive into one of the most heartbreaking and well-known missing child cases in Arkansas — the disappearance of Morgan Nick.

On the warm summer night of June 9, 1995, six-year-old Morgan vanished while catching lightning bugs near the baseball fields in Alma, Arkansas. Within moments, the little girl was gone — leaving behind a devastated family, a shaken community, and one of the largest missing-child investigations in the state’s history.

Morgan’s case remains unsolved, but her story continues to inspire advocacy and awareness for missing children nationwide.

If you have information about Morgan Nick’s disappearance, please contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Morgan Nick Foundation.

This week on Deadly Tea, co-hosts Marie and Savannah Zambrano step into the shadows for a chilling submission episode you won’t forget.

An anonymous listener wrote in with a spine-tingling encounter that left them questioning what’s real… and what isn’t. What started as an ordinary day quickly turned into something unexplainable — eerie sounds, an unsettling presence, and moments that still don’t sit right to this day.

We’re sharing their story exactly as it was sent to us — raw, personal, and deeply unsettling.

Was it coincidence? A trick of the mind? Or something truly paranormal?

Grab your tea, turn down the lights, and settle in… because this one might just follow you to bed.

Because mental health matters — every single day, not just when things get hard.

In this episode of Deadly Tea, we examine the tragic murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart, a case that deeply impacted the Pocatello, Idaho community and drew national attention due to its disturbing premeditation and the circumstances surrounding the crime.

We explore who Cassie was, the events leading up to the night of the murder in September 2006, the investigation and prosecution that followed, and the broader conversations this case sparked about youth violence, media influence, and criminal psychology.

Hosts: Marie & Savannah Zambrano dive into one of the most haunting and complex serial murder investigations in recent U.S. history — the Long Island Serial Killer case, also known as the Gilgo Beach murders. What began with the mysterious disappearance of Shannan Gilbert in 2010 led to the discovery of multiple victims along Ocean Parkway and a case filled with unanswered questions, investigative missteps, and families fighting to keep their loved ones’ stories alive. With a suspect now charged but the investigation still unfolding, we explore the victims, the evidence, and the lasting impact of a case that continues to raise questions about justice, stigma, and truth.

Hosts: Marie & Savannah Zambrano deep dive into The Death Cap mushroom murders that refer to a high-profile Australian case in which a family lunch turned deadly after guests were poisoned with Amanita phalloides, one of the world’s most toxic mushrooms.

In July 2023, several people became critically ill after eating a home-cooked meal in rural Victoria. Three guests later died from organ failure caused by death cap mushroom poisoning, while one survived. The host of the lunch, Erin Patterson, reported no symptoms. What was initially described as a medical mystery was later investigated as a homicide, drawing international attention due to the rarity, lethality, and calculated nature of the poisoning.
