Hey ghouls! So in light of spring break, we figured we would take one ourselves! After doing this podcast for almost two years and almost one hundred episodes in, we figured we deserve a little break this week. And so do YOU! Take a break from podcasts and murder - go outside, touch grass, steal a Cadbury Egg from your kid's Easter basket, and RELAX.

We will see you next Tuesday (but don't be one) with more of the content ya'll weirdos love. Happy Spring Break! - Christina & Alicia

On the morning of August 5, 2009, firefighters responded to a fire in a residential trash bin behind the Covenant of Grace Church in Phoenix, Arizona. The shocking contents of the trash bin led investigators to a woman with a level of derangement and detachment so extreme that it left authorities absolutely stunned.

Today, we discuss the absolutely horrific murder of Terry Neely at the hands of a real-life monster, Angela Simpson.

It's time for a light-hearted one today, guys! In this episode, Alicia brings you the story of a group of REAL LIFE sticky bandits - a criminal ring responsible for siphoning sweet (and expensive) maple syrup from a strategic reserve in Quebec, Canada between the years 2011 and 2012. So toast up an Eggo, drench it in some sizzurp, and hang with us while we talk about something that doesn't involve murder for a change!

Who's ready for Part 2 of our Dorothea Puente series? Today, we discuss Dorothea's boarding house from hell - a home that was supposed to offer shelter, stability and compassion to the elderly, disabled and vulnerable residents of Sacramento, California. But beneath the lace curtains of the historic Victorian home at 1426 F Street, and underneath the warm, grandmotherly smile of the landlord, was something far more sinister.

Born into immense chaos and instability, Dorothea learned to use her good looks and her skills in manipulation tactics to get what she wanted out of people - with devastating results.

Today, Christina revisits of one of our most popular cases - Christa Pike aka "Lil' Devil" - the youngest woman to ever be sentenced to death in the United States of America. 

On the night of January 12, 1995, the beautiful and kind-hearted Colleen Slemmer was lured into the woods by a group of her Tennessee Job Corps class mates - led by Christa Pike - and brutally murdered. But even more shocking than the murder itself, was the motive behind it. This was a crime of passion and true mean girl jealousy. 

Join Christina for a run-down of the case, as well as some interesting recent developments, including an official date with death for the infamous Christa Pike.
