They say it's wrong to be obsessed with true crime but if you watched "Don't F**k With Cats," you'll know it can work out in your favor. Before Facebook found Luka Magnotta, a hotel manager's child became obsessed with a dead body found on their property and wouldn't rest until they found out how she died.

PLEASE NOTE: Today's episode includes language some may find triggering. These slurs are for the purpose of historical accuracy and do not reflect the opinions of the cast or crew at The Original Deadtime Stories. A censored version of the episode is available.

We've seen how dangerous Amite County was for African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement. Herbert Lee was murdered in broad daylight by a politician. Shortly after, another African American man was murdered on his own property. Was it a coincidence or was it because he threatened to tell the truth at Herbert's trial? We all know the answer but let's be one of the first to examine Louis Allen's story closer.

How's that old COVID-19 joke go? Murder your spouse now, blame it on the corona virus later? If you're a fan of true crime memes then you probably saw this at some point last year. In Florida, it became a reality. Of course this wasn't the first time a virus was used as a weapon. Just a few years ago, Daryll Rowe harnessed HIV to attack other gay men.
