This is one of the more upsetting cases I've ever covered, and trigger warning: it involves the horrific murder of a 10 year old girl. This story takes place in New Mexico, and it is a doozy! Beyond the horrifying details of this poor little girl's murder, which are murky at best, this case also highlights the repeated failures of the state, both through their child protective services, and their police department. Victoria Martens was failed by the system on every single level, and her blood is absolutely on the hands of the State of New Mexico. Frustratingly, those may be the only hands ever definitively linked to her murder. Listen in to hear more.

This week, Cindy is flying solo while Diva enjoys a little time with her new little one. As such, Cindy chose a creepy, themed story of the Santa Strangler, a serial killer who attacked vulnerble, middle ages women in both LA's South Bay and the Bay Area. This man, a seemingly sweet, unassuming, but ultimately terrifying Santa Lookalike confessed to his crimes, not once, but twice before being brought to justice, and by the time he was caught, he was nearly as old as Saint Nick himself. So tune in and enjoy our holiday themed solo episode, and make sure to stay off our lists, especially during the holidays!

ID: Murder in Amish Country, Season 1, Episode 3

This week, we're staying in the present, yet somehow also going back in time. We are looking at murders of people who, for the most part, still don't use electricity, travel by horse and buggy, and generally want nothing to do with the "English" world. And yet, even they are not immune to the horrors of the modern world, namely, at least for our purposes, murder. And truly, it never ceases to amaze us how similar motives can be across cultures and lifestyles, because when you really get down to it, people are people, and murderers exist everywhere (even in Amish country!) So tune in for some truly shocking tales, and a few that are as old as time, as we delve into the surprisingly brutal world of Amish Murders!
