Hey Parent Peeps! It's deep dive time! For our Q as in Cucumber listeners, Tanya and I will be back soon with new episodes of our own. Sorry, we have been AWOL for a little bit. In the meantime, enjoy this bonus episode from our sister show, The Parent Memoirs. This week, Jessica and I explore the final chapter, save for one final mystery, of the Leonard Warwicks path of destruction. After the first two murders, the story goes cold for most of Australia. They had no idea that Leonard was just getting warmed up. The most destructive events were yet to come. We explore the repeated attacks, how fucking Leonard kept out of prison for so long, and what finally brought him down. If you or someone you know is the victim of domestic abuse, please know that you are not alone. There is hope and there are organizations that can help. Visit https://www.thehotline.org/ for support and resources. All hail Queen Bailey! Here is the Bailey Sarian Murder Mystery and Makeup video that got me started on this case.

Hey Parent Peeps! It's deep dive time! For our Q as in Cucumber listeners, Tanya and I will be back soon with new episodes of our own. Sorry, we have been AWOL for a little bit. In the meantime, enjoy this bonus episode from our sister show, The Parent Memoirs. This week Jessica and I dive headfirst into one of the most bonkers cases I have ever heard. As I am true crime obsessed, I am a little shocked I had never heard of this one before. While looking for our next deep dive I came across the amazing Bailey Sarian and her Murder Mystery and Makeup series on YouTube. She told this story, and I was hooked (on her channel and this story). I watched the documentary special from 7News and then read the book about it by one of the journalists. Buckle-up buttercups! When Leonard Warwick found out that his wife Andrea Blanchard had petitioned for full custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Trudie, in their 1979 divorce petition, he was angry. When the justice overseeing the case awarded Andrea full custody temporarily until the details of the divorce were worked out, he was enraged. When Andreas little brother tried to talk some sense into him one day when he violated the justice's orders and kept Trudie for longer than his visitation allowed, he snapped. On February 22nd, 1980, the first loss of life in this story would occur. It would not be the last. The court and the country were gripped with fear and confusion for 5 long years. Was the court the actual target? Or was it these victims personally? Was it all the work of the same psychopath? Or was it copycats? How long would this go on? Who would be next?   It would take 40 years to answer all those questions. Check out part one of our Australian Family Court Attacks series! Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss the conclusion!

We bust out of quarantine and record face to face this week! 

We are finally doin' it people! Lara, Tanya AND Jessica hit the mics together! And what are we talking about? Tiger King, Joe Exotic, Doc Antle, Jeff Lowe and more! We also take a little trip down memory lane and explain what we mean when you hear us say "Jessica Moments". 

This message is being broadcast with the hopes it will find someone...anyone...or anything. Quarantine is obviously the first topic of conversation on this episode. We follow that up with a little teaser of what will be our next episode topic. Last, we dig in a little into the arrest affidavit and the timeline of events that police have put together in the case of Gannon Stauch. 

UPDATE! i was able to find the link to donate to the real family. We know this is a painful time for everyone but anything you can give will be appreciated I am sure.  https://pushpay.com/g/restchurchcoloradosprings?src=hpp&r=monthly&fbclid=IwAR0Pi0uHkvgCzkCFSPSPw7RUmtYPtpsVcXcMJab65K9HNYQUaBfFyUZyktg This week we give the sad updates that have come to light in the Gannon Stauch case. Beware there are a lot of tears in this episode. We are truly heartbroken for his parents. Just as a reminder...we are just two moms who podcast as a way to vent and laugh. We do not make money from doing this and we are fine with our private lives. We are not looking for our 15 minutes of fame. We both just have connections to this community, one lived there for 10 years, and the other currently lives there. Our hearts break for the family and the community and we just want to share the story to make sure justice is served. #gannonstauch #gannonstrong #leticiastouch      

This week we discuss two cases of missing children. We recorded this last week before his body was found. It was announced today that he was found in Florida. WE will record another episode with updates soon! 

We are back! Lara and Jess explain the long break and reveal Jessicas new nickname and the details of both of us falling apart. Then we get depressing discussing the death of pets. BUT we get back to the funny by sharing one of the most amazing listener stories I have ever gotten, and that includes both of our shows! Thank you sooooooooooooooo much Abby A. from Australia for this kick ass, awesome, amazing tale of psycho moms in the bush lands of Australia. Enjoy and love your faces! 

So now that we are past Thanksgiving and onto Christmas...seems like a good time to finally put out our Halloween episode! Sorry for the delay. We put out the Casey Anthony series first and then, as all parents know, shit happens in life and you just don't get to everything. We chat about showing your kids scary movies, the lore of Poltergeist, the directors commentary of Clue, along with, of course, some costume talk! PLEASE forgive the echo and buzz. Long story but not the norm.
