Today we cover the trial of Scott Watson. The man who was arrested for the murders of Olivia Hope and Ben Smart. This was a three month trial with over 500 witnesses but hardly any evidence. This trial was heavily controversial.  Do you think that Scott Watson murdered Olivia Hope and Ben Smart. Or do you think that police were too narrow sighted and let the real killer walk free. Let me know what you think happened!

New Year, New Crime!!! Today we cover the disappearance of two friends after a raging New Years Eve party in New Zealand. After an abundance of questioning, the police focus in on a suspect, but do they even have the right man? With no bodies, and no physical evidence we are left to ponder and hope that the trial will bring something more to light. Do you think police have the right man, or do you think they got tunnel vision too early in the investigation. Let me know!

Hey Creeps! I hope you are all excited for this weeks Taylor-Sode. Today we are covering the case of Nathan Leopold and Albert Loeb. Listen now to find out what happens when two seemingly straight edge college students get a taste for crime and decide to push themselves to see how far they can go. The two boys end up committing the ultimate crime by kidnapping a young boy, murdering him, and then gruesomely dispose of his body. Although this crime was horrendous, it did get the conversation started regarding the mental state of individuals who kill. Is it nature or nurture? Does something in their mind just snap one day?

Randy Stair was a creative soul who threw himself into his cartoons that he created for his viewers on YouTube. However, he was also deeply disturbed and his mental health went unchecked. There were many red flags that could be noted in the content that be published, but no one noticed until it was too late.
