On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ about an Australian case that has gone completely viral! Erin Patterson seemed like your typical middle aged Mom. Until one day when she invited her ex husband's family over for lunch. Within 12 hours all 4 of her lunch guests would be in the ICU, in critical condition and by the end of that week, 1 of them would be in a coma and 3 of them would be dead. Did Erin poison her lunch guests? Or was this just one big accident??

On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ about the senseless murder of Lauren Giddings. Lauren had just finished law school and was studying to take the Bar Exam. When friends and family didn't hear anything from her for a few days however, they started to get concerned. Among the friends searching for her was a man none of them knew too well... her next door neighbor Stephen McDaniel. Soon everyone would discover that while Lauren was simply just being neighborly to Stephen, waving and smiling at him in passing, he was building a fantasy world in his head and it completely revolved around Lauren. Moral of this story... We never truly know what's going on behind closed doors.

On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ the harrowing and tragic case of Judy Malinowski. In 2015 Judy was in a volatile relationship with her boyfriend Mike Slager. One afternoon while stopping at a gas station for cigarettes the two of them get into a fight and Mike pours gasoline on Judy and sets her on fire! Over the next 2 years she would fight through unfathomable pain to stay alive. She not only changed the law in Ohio but would be the first person in US history to testify in her own murder trial!

On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ the shocking case of The Chicago Ripper Crew. We have talked about serial killers many times but I have never heard of a group of serial killers that murdered together. These 4 men unfortunately found one another, killed together and performed disgusting "satanic" rituals. I have never covered a case this brutal and I'm not lying when I tell you I have 2 nightmares this week about this case. Moral of this story... "evil begins when you treat people as things"

On this episode of Wife of Crime I am telling Russ all about the rise and fall of the most well known mafia boss of our generation, John Gotti. I also tell you guys about what got me so interested in the mafia and why they are some of my favorite cases to research! John Gotti's story is full of drama. He was all over the media in the 80s and 90s and he absolutely loved the attention. The media dubbed him "The Dapper Don", he was a cold blooded killer in a $2000 suit. Unfortunately, like most megalomaniacs the fall from the top comes swift and hard. In a world that prides itself on loyalty John Gotti's disloyalty to his closest ally would lead to his own undoing as well as the fall of the entire Gambino crime family. Moral of the story... "The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies" -William Shakespeare
