  • #582 - Seven Murders & One Lie - Elkland, Missouri
    Mar 28 2025

    This week, in Elkland, Missouri, when seven family members are brutally murdered, in two different homes, the lone survivor tells a tale of killing the murderer, after being wounded by him. The killer looks to be a teenager, who just snappe, due to too much responsibility for the family farm. But nothing turns out to be anything like it seems. The truth turns out to be a much more disturbing story, that leaves everyone in complete shock!!


    Along the way, we find out that we don't don't know anything about bluegrass music, that you can only put so much adult responsibility on a 14 year old, and that if you're going to slaughter 7 people, and try to frame someone else, you should plan the whole thing a little bit better!!

  • #581 - Sexy Sunday School Teacher Slaughter - Enid, Oklahoma
    Mar 27 2025

    This week, in Enid, Oklahoma, when a very upstanding couple is attacked, it leaves the husband dead, and the wife with a bullet wound. The problem is, nothing is as it seems. This nice, Sunday school teaching couple has also had some problems, mainly that this injured wife has been having affairs with seemingly everyone they know. Including a fellow Sunday school teacher, who looks extremely guilty. But was she in on it??


    Along the way, we find out how food trucks originally started, that no matter how much you want a relationship to work, both people have to want it, and that if you're going to claim that people tried to murder you, you should have more than a minor flesh wound!!

  • #580 - Beauty Shop Butcher - Roebuck, South Carolina
    Mar 21 2025

    This week, in Roebuck, South Carolina, police are called to beauty salon, to find the owner, horribly attacked & murdered, hanging from a duffle bag strap. There are several suspects, including her husband, a prisoner who confessed, and a young man, who told everyone that he wanted to date the dead woman. Even with DNA, it's a mystery, until a chance meeting causes a witness to come forward, unraveling the killer's whole world. Was this the only time he's killed?


    Along the way, we find out that you just can't stop the kids from writing with quill pens, that there's nothing worse than having to cut an annoying person's hair, and that even if someone confesses, there may be someone much guiltier, out there!!

Creative take on true crime!

I started listening to this podcast a few years ago, and it is one of the few that I still listen to and download weekly. The stories are true, the hosts are funny and smart, and each episode stands completely alone. As someone who has lived in a few small towns, I like that all the stories are from small towns. The episodes that featured towns in my state were always really interesting.

Laughed for too hard at this one!

I have listened for a while, but I haven't laughed so hard and enjoyed my commute so much in a while. Please come to Asheville, NC!

Great great podcast!!!!

Love the hosts! Love the stories! I listen and re-listen to every episode. Embarrassingly, I can go verbatim with some of them. Warning: Possibly addictive. You will not regret it, give them a listen.

Thieving Italian Nonnas

The episode where your grandma steals the body of christ almost made me crash my car from laughing. I'm sure my Nonna would have done the same thing if she knew where the church kept the bread
