This week we're discussing another Canadian case that took place in the Calgary area in 2014. If you're Albertan you will definitely remember this case and if you're not we hope you learn some thing new. It involves missing grandparents and 5 year old, a patent feud from the early 2000s, and dumb luck.

**We would like to state that we got the information about Ed being denied being a cop wrong. He was not allowed to be a cop due to his criminal record and previous stay in a psychiatric hospital. And it was Ed who told people that he was denied due to his height.

For this episode we're discussing the upbringing and crimes of Ed Kemper in the sense of Nature vs. Nurture. This topic brings up many interesting discussion points that we would like to get your opinions on as well. Ed Kemper is someone that we've always heard a lot about but never knew any specifics about so it was enlightening to dive into his story.

This case took the world by storm in 1996 and we're still looking for answers in 2025, almost 30 years later. On Boxing Day 1996, 6 year old JonBenet Ramsey was reported missing. Later that day, she was found deceased by her father. Investigators still do not know who killed her, as of recording, but they do have some theories. We explore some of those theories in this episode and if you would like us to explore more, let us know.

This week we are joined by ex-animal cruelty officer, Ellie Hayes. For her privacy we did not record video and changed her name, please respect this privacy and don't go out of your way to try and find her. Thank you :)

This episode is definitely heavier since we are discussing saving heavily abused animals. Ellie educates us on the intricacies of what it takes to be an animal cruelty officer and what the job entails. We hope you learn something new and a huge thank you to Ellie for coming on and talking to us!!

In this episode we discuss the Happy Face Killer Keith Jesperson and his horrific crimes. This case is really strange because there were two random individuals who claimed that they killed one of his victims but actually had zero relation to him or the victim. Weird, right?! And you'll notice that in the thumbnail there are photos of 2 of his victims, one who recently was identified and the other who still has not been identified so take a look at her and see if you recognize her! We also discuss genetic genealogy and how it was used to identify most of his victims and it was really cool to learn some specifics surrounding that science. Let us know if you learned something new with this episode.

We did have some technical difficulties with this episode so there is no video attached. Not sure what happened but we thank you for your continued support & patience💙

In this episode we discuss the disappearance and murder of Laci & her unborn son Conner Peterson. This case is especially heartbreaking because it involves the death of a 8-month pregnant mother and her spouse is the most likely suspect. It's wild that there is no physical evidence connecting Laci's husband to her murder and him & his family, to this day, proclaim his innocence. Listen if you can, it's a crazy story.

For this episode we discuss Sharon Kinne and her interesting life. She has to be one of the luckiest criminals we've ever covered, only getting caught after she died and an anonymous person came forward with her story. She's killed an unknown number of people, most of them being her spouses or affair partners, so she really wasn't a lovely lady. Her known crimes span the USA, Mexico, and Canada. You'll definitely want to listen to this episode cause WTF?!💀💙

This episode takes us to the very east coast of Canada in St. Anthony, Newfoundland. Jennifer Hillier-Penney disappeared on November 30, 2016, seven years later her husband is arrested for her murder. To date, her body has not been found and the trial is set to begin April 2026, almost 10 years after her initial disappearance. There's not much known yet in this case but we're going to follow along the case and do an updated episode once more is known. There are some weird things in this episode and we'd love to know what you think.

This episode will make you say WTF? We meet two teenage girls from small town Ontario who plot to kill their mom. "Sandra" and "Beth" spend a few months workshopping all the ways to get away with killing their mother before eventually succeeding. They then confess to all of their friends and acquaintances for over a year about this murder before one of their friends finally goes to the police. One year after the death of their mom, the girls are finally arrested for killing her and tried as children under the YCJA. This is a heartbreaking episode about the circumstances that led to these young girls feeling the need to kill their mom and their friends' assistance and negligence. Join us as we try to decide how we feel about this Canadian case.
