Welcome to the true crime comedy podcast where your hosts, Caitlin and Bibi, make fun of American and Canadian criminals and justice systems!
Caitlin covers one of American history's most notorious crimes - the murder memorialized in Truman Capote's magnum opus In Cold Blood. Do you know the story of the Cuttler family? How could two of Canada's dumbest criminals get away with murder twice, with the victims being in the same family, in the same home? Could Caleb Harrison's murder have been prevented? Bibi talks about one of Canada's most shocking serial murder cases.
What if the criminal was someone trusted in the justice system? Bibi covers the case of the first judge convicted of murder in Canada while Caitlin tells a BANANAS story about a judge in Miami who holds a family hostage at gunpoint. Not all who wear robes can be trusted.
Caitlin tells the heartbreaking story behind Atmosphere's song "That Night" - the death of Marissa Mathy-Zvaifler. Bibi covers the incredible journey of David Milgaard - the man who inspired the Tragically Hip's Wheat Kings.
Caitlin and Bibi discuss their countries' youngest serial killers: Craig Price and Peter Woodcock. Are LSD or boozy breast milk to blame? Could they be rehabilitated? And what's up with those scattered pennies? This might be the strangest episode yet.
Shoutout to our friend Wes for the recommendation. This week Caitlin talks about "Walking While Trans" and Bibi covers the a serial killer who targeted closeted men in Toronto. Trigger warning: this episode contains a terrible impression of Keith Morrison.
Friends!!! We are BACK for a second season, packed with another 10 amazing episodes. We're kicking this off with a bang: Cults. Bibi covers the chilling story of the Ant Hill Kids, led by Roch Theriault and Caitlin walks us through the "culte du jour" - NXIVM.
Bibi covers the case of a lesser-known Canadian school shooting. Was bullying to blame? You may think you know the story behind the inspiration for the song "I Don't Like Mondays" but the true details will have you reeling. Caitlin tells us all about it.
We interrupt our regularly-scheduled programming to interview Alain - Bibi's Dad - on his civilian investigation of the OJ Simpson murder case.
Caitlin and Bibi discuss their celebrity crushes before diving in to the incomprehensible topic of Family Annihilators.
Two 12 year olds; one in the U.S., one in Canada. One African-American, one Caucasian. One boy, one girl. Which one premeditated the murder of their family and which one likely killed a younger friend accidentally? How did the courts respond? Caitlin and Bibi get angry.
Did you know that Don King owned a successful gambling business in Cleveland before becoming a boxing announcer? Did you also know he killed two people? And how do Cher and an amazing denim jacket fit into this? Caitlin walks us through the facts. Things get weird when the wife of a CBC executive is murdered and the heir to Quebec's largest chicken restaurant chain gets involved. Bibi will teach you all about creamy and traditional coleslaw, the best engineered dessert in the world, and the year 1987.
What happens when a victim of severe domestic abuse discovers that the only way to escape it is through death? Is someone's humanity redefined if they spend their existence ruining someone else's? This episode covers a difficult topic in true crime and across justice systems: the Battered Woman's Defense. Jane Hurshman and Judy Laws Norman were similar women in similar countries, but how did their communities handle their crimes? Caitlin and Bibi discuss.
Bibi covers the case of Kenneth Parks, a Scarborough man who drove 15 minutes to his in-laws' house, let himself in with his key, and attacked them with a tire iron and a knife. He immediately turned himself in. The motive? He didn't have one. He did it all in his sleep. A pool pump. The Church of Latter Day Saints. A nosy neighbor. Tupperware. How will you interpret the clues? Did Scott Falater murder his wife? Caitlin is on the case.
Bibi covers the story of Robert Raymond Cook, the last man to be executed in Alberta - but was he guilty of murdering his entire family, as the prosecution believed? Or was he two and a half hours away committing another crime? Caitlin covers the case of two men who are found guilty of murdering a woman, her daughter and her grandchildren - but what if one man implicated the other without proof? Can the innocent man be exonerated and saved from death row?
Bibi covers the case of the Mississauga Bathtub Girls, two teenage sisters who murdered their mother in 2003. Are they cold-blooded killers, as the prosecution claims, or is there more to the story? Caitlin covers the case of the matricide committed by the Whitehead twins. Was their mother’s death preventable? How should the justice system sentence teens who carry out a violent offense?
Caitlin covers the case of Raymond Gregory, who spent 44 years in a D.C. psychiatric institution after pleading not guilty by reason of insanity to a breaking and entering charge in 1970. Bibi covers the case of Dr. Guy Turcotte, who in 2011 was found non-criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder after murdering his two young children during a suicidal crisis. Were both men truly insane? In both cases, did the punishment fit the crime?
