Episode 72 - Idaho This week we're back in Idaho! Land of potatoes. Amber tells us 2 terrible stories this week.I mean, the stories are told well, but the content is just awful! First she tells us about Alofa Time, who murdered his wife and then tried to kill himself, but just ended up killing innocent people. Then she tells us about Joseph Edward Duncan III. He was a monster who murdered some members of a family and abducted their small children. The story is insane.

Episode 69 - Halloween? So Maggie is incapable of reading a schedule or calendar and this episode was supposed to come out last week. So hopefully everyone is still in a spooky mood this week! This week we have some guests and we talk the paranormal. Maggie's mom Mary has a connection to spirits and has many interesting, and scary, and amazing experiences in the field. Maggie's sister Dale also joins us as she's gone on quiet a few ghost hunts with Mary. AND Amber was in the same room as all of us for this recording for the first time ever! Hope you enjoy our little fieldtrip off of the true crime path and into the paranormal.

Episode 63 - Arkansas This week we are back in Arkansas! While we're in Arkansas we explore some square dancing clubs, and that leads us to the murder of Patti Wheelington!

Episode 61 - Meet the Hosts! This week Amber and Maggie just talk about ourselves! We answer some questions from fans (aka Maggie's Mom) and some of our own questions about different true crime subjects.

Episode 60 - Alaska This week we are switching stuff up a bit, we're only giving you 1 story this week. We've decided our episodes are getting pretty long and we don't get to talk to each other as much as we'd like when we're both trying to tell an interesting tale. So, this week Maggie is telling Amber the story of Papa Pilgrim in Alaska. Papa Pilgrim was basically a giant piece of trash that people should have paid a lot more attention to. His family searched to find the perfect place to live their old school pilgrim lifestyle, and they found it for quite a while. But thanks to the harshness of living in Alaska Papa Pilgrims true nature was revealed.

Episode 49 - Maine This week we are finishing up the lower 48 in Maine! Maggie tried recording in a different location on a different mic and the audio is not our best, apologies.

Episode 45 - Rhode Island This week we're heading through the smallest state and learning about some big criminals! Maggie starts us off with the story of a con-woman.
