True Dat is back with another episode!! This week, we're covering Lonnie David Franklin Jr. AKA 'The Grim Sleeper', who wreaked havoc on black women in Los Angeles from the 80s into the early 2000s. Franklin maintained a seemingly normal life, but beneath the surface lurked a violent killer. Xia and Nai'm discuss compartmentalizing, and how people often overcompensate when they do something wrong. Then, stay tuned for a little game of 'Florida or Fiction', as well as 'Last Words'.

In our premiere episode, co-hosts Na'im Ali and Xia Anderson share how crime has shaped some of their own experiences growing up (Na'im in Philly; Xia in Hawaii), and why a little bit of dark humor can sometimes help to process trauma. They then delve into the story of Dana Ireland - a case that rocked Hawaii in 1991 and wasn't solved until last year.
