I was watching Peacock and saw a special on the Toolbox Murders, did you ever cover that on a episode?
Also I live in Rhode Island and was friends with Craig Price growing up, were he committed the the home murder we actually moved out of that house and the family that moved in was murdered. My mother saw him peeking through blinds and much more.
I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering this podcast! Honestly, I’ve nearly listened to all episodes… I can’t get enough. My only minor complaint is the amount of commercials… they are so long!! I eventually got Patreon for this podcast but a lot to do with the frequent/lengthy commercials. I somewhat understand that this is valid profession. I just haven’t experienced any other podcast with the amount of commercials.
Thank you so much for your talent and voice on these important cases.
Courtney talks so slowly it’s painful.
These hosts are so committed to making the best podcast and give such amazing details, it’s crazy! Great job guys!!
Been listening to this podcast for years... love the content! Love Colin and Courtney- beautiful souls ... hope we get murdered Americans back sometime! Can't wait for 2026
