  • RIGHT?!

    The crimes are interesting. The stories are pretty well told. Just cannot get over how many times these two fools say “Right?!” to each other. It is so annoying.

    Love the show - but the commercials and some of the audio clips are really loud. I listen in the car so it’s hard for me to hear you so I have to turn it up but the a commercial comes on and it scares the bejesus out of me. Also, Cooper, girl, PLEASE stop saying “right?” every time you talk. Please.

  • Ping pong

    I can’t even listen to the whole episode because there is some kind of noise in the background that sounds like someone is playing ping pong and it’s very distracting especially because the host voices are so soft

Ouija Board Murders with Two Girls One Ghost
Q: What was the outcome of the insanity defense and why is it significant?

Ouija Board Murders with Two Girls One Ghost
Q: How does the Ouija Board figure into the initial police assessment of the crime?

Out Now: What She Buried
Q: Did you think it was a good idea?
No. I told them why it wasn't a good idea; I explained the risks and why the portrayal could be misleading.
Where is Kristin Smart?
Q: What made this no-body case possible to prosecute, despite the absence of a corpse?
A combination of cadaver dog alerts, testimony from multiple women with similar patterns of behavior, and a carefully constructed circumstantial narrative that tied the defendant to the crime over time.
