Small Towns. Heinous Crimes. We are exploring the crimes that rocked small communities. Chris & Gina are a married couple who discuss real crimes from their area and other midwest towns in an unscripted format. Gina researches the cases and writes the blog, but the podcast is completely unscripted and Chris usually has no knowledge of the case before hand. His reactions are raw and real.

  • Dumb jokes ruin it

    Couldn’t listen to more than 5 minutes. The woman is TRYING to tell us the true crime story and the man keeps interrupting by “singing” Milli Vanilli and Michael Jackson songs.

    We are here for the story, not your failed AGT audition.

Thanks Chris and Gina.
