The internet is a vast and wonderful place, but it can also be very scary and dangerous, especially for children, but really, nobody is safe! Catfishing, cyberstalking, online bullying... who ever thought such an amazing invention could be so sinister? We aren't exactly surprised, but still... This week, we're taking a look at victims who died after meeting their online predators. Be that sex workers with an ulterior motive, old men posing as hot young guy, or even dates gone horribly wrong. There's sadly no lack of cases in this bunch, and no lack of crazy tales of people posing as the literal opposite of who they really are, with devastating results.

Exonerated, and it feels so good! Join us this week as we dive into cases of the (possibly) wrongly convicted. These cases are BONKERS, and completely mind bogglingly angering, to say the least! These poor people spent years of their lives behind bars for crimes they didn't commit, all because of police and/or prosecutorial conduct, false testimony, and many other terrible things! Join us as we navigate through these awful cases and their bittersweet conclusions, as we cheer on these lovely, (mostly) innocent people in their new found, very overdue freedom.
