August 10, 2021 Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders
In 1977, three young girls were killed at Camp Scott. Many obvious warning signs were ignored that could’ve prevented this tragedy. A suspect was arrested but questionable police work may have messed up the entire case. Most infuriating of all, parents of the victims found out their children were brutally murdered from seeing it on the news. The entire thing is a nightmare.

July 20, 2021 Salem Witch Trials w/ Marilynne K. Roach & Rachel Christ
The Salem Witch Trials began in 1692 after a few girls claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused local women of witchcraft. The hysteria spread, over 200 people were accused of being witches, and nineteen were executed by hanging. Is a family rivalry to blame? Were people losing their minds from ergot poisoning rye bread?
