Just a warning, this one is extra horrific and there’s a few reasons why. I won’t go into detail before we begin because it’s not a super long case and we’ll get there. But what I did want to just give you a heads up about and a little bit of a warning is that this one involves children. I do some cases that involve children or younger people and if you’re listening to this true crime podcast, I’m sure you’re used to hearing about horrific stuff- but when a case is particularly brutal or had hit me in a certain way, I do like to just give a bit of a warning. You may wanna skip this one if this is a particularly hard spot for you with it being 8 and 6 year old girls.
