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.

It’s been a while since a new episode has been out. I do enjoy your views but please fix the sounds issue? It’s so quiet.
Research names, pronunciations, show respect. Be better.
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.
Not only did you butcher Ron last name.. but his child name you have completely wrong! Which should be good thing cause WHO PUTS A MINOR INFORMATION out there!?!?
Chris and Gina are the best. They both have the voice for podcasting. Gina is very knowledgeable about the cases she covers. I love that Chris gets so upset about the crimes that happen in this world. They are good people who speak out against crime and i am going enjoy listening to every podcast they have recorded. Thanks Chris and Gina.
