In this episode, we go beyond the sanitized headlines and Netflix documentaries to examine the Ted Bundy case you were never supposed to know about, including the suppressed files, the buried reports, and the institutional failures that allowed one of America's most prolific serial killers to operate for years longer than he ever should have.We begin with Bundy's troubled origins at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers, his violent grandfather Samuel Cowell, his grandmother's severe mental illness and electroconvulsive treatments, the family secret that made him believe his mother was his sister, and the chilling incident where three-year-old Ted placed butcher knives around his sleeping aunt's body while smiling.We examine the haunting case of eight-year-old Ann Marie Burr, who vanished from her Tacoma home in 1961 when Bundy was just fourteen years old and lived less than two miles away with a paper route through her neighborhood, and we discuss why the 2011 request to compare Bundy's DNA to evidence from that case was denied because his biological samples had been destroyed.We explore Bundy's work at the Seattle Crisis Clinic from 1971 to 1974, where he sat beside future true crime author Ann Rule taking calls from suicidal individuals while perfecting the manipulation techniques he would later use to lure women to their deaths, and we reveal his own admission that he learned how to sound caring even when he wasn't.We dive deep into the mathematics of murder and why the official victim count of thirty to thirty-six is almost certainly a fraction of the real total, with some investigators estimating the true number could exceed one hundred, and we examine the lost years between 1969 and 1973 when Bundy traveled extensively and left virtually no documented trail while young women matching his victim profile disappeared along the East Coast.We expose the systematic failures that allowed Bundy to keep killing, including Elizabeth Kloepfer's five separate reports to law enforcement that were ignored because detectives dismissed her as a hysterical woman, the nine months it took Utah authorities to arrest him after Carol DaRonch escaped his car with a handcuff still attached to her wrist, and the cross-jurisdictional catastrophe where police departments in four states refused to share information with each other. We reveal the truth behind both escapes, including the suspected accomplice inside the Aspen courthouse whose personnel file conveniently disappeared, the 1976 jail inspection report that identified the exact security weakness Bundy exploited in Glenwood Springs, and the fifteen-hour head start he received because holiday weekend staffing cuts reduced cell checks from hourly to every other hour.We uncover Bundy's carefully buried political career as a rising star in the Republican Party, his work on the Rockefeller presidential campaign, his security clearance to serve as a driver and bodyguard for Governor Daniel Evans, and how the party quietly scrubbed his employment records from their archives after his arrest.We examine what the jury never heard about the Chi Omega massacre, including how the bite mark evidence almost didn't exist because the attending physician failed to photograph the marks before they faded, the discrepancy in Nita Neary's eyewitness account that the defense never challenged, and the troubling theory that Kimberly Leach wasn't an aberration but a return to Bundy's true preference for younger victims. We analyze the death row interviews and the information Bundy provided about dump sites and victims that was never followed up by law enforcement, his manipulation of the Green River Killer investigation for his own benefit, and how his final interview with James Dobson blaming pornography contradicted everything he'd told forensic psychiatrists for years.We discuss the mystery of Carole Ann Boone's pregnancy on death row and the evidence that guards were bribed to allow physical contact during visits, the discredited science of bite mark analysis that formed the foundation of his Chi Omega conviction, and why the destruction of Bundy's DNA samples has prevented closure for families across the country whose daughters disappeared during the years he was active.We close with the questions that remain unanswered, the dump sites that were never searched due to budget cuts and political pressure, the hitchhiker victims along Interstate Five that were never officially linked to him, and the uncomfortable truth that many of the same institutional failures that allowed Bundy to kill for years still exist in our law enforcement system today.This episode contains discussions of violence, sexual assault, and crimes against children that some listeners may find disturbing.

The Mickey Stines case just took a turn nobody predicted. A week ago, a hearing was supposed to move this case forward — bond arguments, venue fight, the works. Instead, Judge Christopher Cohron walked in, said there was an "issue," and shut it down. Now we know what the issue was: him.Defense attorneys Jeremy and Kerri Bartley have filed a motion to recuse Cohron after an investigator discovered video showing the judge seated next to Kevin Mullins at a Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health meeting — seven days before Mullins was shot to death in his Letcher County chambers. According to the motion, Cohron sat inches from Mullins for approximately two hours. Mullins' widow was also present. The defense claims Cohron never disclosed any of this.The timing is brutal. This is a case built entirely around Stines' mental state — whether he was legally insane, whether he was in psychosis, whether extreme emotional disturbance applies. And the judge presiding over it was filmed at a mental health meeting with the victim days before the killing, allegedly nodding along as Mullins discussed his work.Cohron has already denied the defense's motion to unseal Stines' psychiatric evaluation. He blocked them from using it at the bond hearing. The defense is now arguing that a reasonable observer could connect those rulings to what they see in that video.No hearing has been rescheduled. No bond. No trial date. Fifteen months in jail and counting. Everything stops until Cohron decides whether to stay or go.#MickeyStines #TrueCrimeToday #KevinMullins #LetherCountyShooting #KentuckyMurder #JudgeCohron #RecusalMotion #TrueCrimeNews #CourthouseShooting #ShawnStinesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the lead-up to Ghislaine Maxwell's indictment and eventual arrest, a wide range of law enforcement agents representing multiple agencies were brought before the grand jury to lay out the evidentiary foundation of the case. Their testimony reflected a coordinated federal effort that had been building quietly for years, drawing on investigative work from different jurisdictions, timelines, and investigative lanes. Agents walked jurors through financial records, travel logs, victim accounts, electronic communications, and corroborating witness statements, showing how Maxwell functioned not as a peripheral figure, but as a central facilitator in Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation. The cumulative effect of this testimony was to establish pattern, intent, and continuity—demonstrating that Maxwell's actions were not isolated or accidental, but deliberate, repeated, and essential to the enterprise prosecutors were preparing to charge.In this episode, we take a close, methodical look at that grand jury testimony and what it reveals about how the case against Maxwell was constructed. By examining how different agencies' witnesses reinforced one another's findings, the episode highlights how prosecutors built a layered narrative designed to withstand both legal scrutiny and defense attacks. The testimony shows how long-standing investigative threads were finally pulled together after Epstein's death, transforming years of fragmented information into a cohesive criminal case. Rather than focusing on speculation or hindsight, this episode zeroes in on the mechanics of the prosecution itself—how law enforcement presented the evidence, why the grand jury ultimately moved forward, and how that testimony paved the way for Maxwell's arrest and indictment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00008744.pdf

The letter from Kirkland & Ellis to the Department of Justice raises alarm about what Epstein's legal team characterizes as an increasingly improper overlap between federal prosecutors and civil litigation against Jeffrey Epstein. The attorneys note that since their prior submission, two additional civil lawsuits have been filed, all represented by Bradley Edwards Herman, a former law partner of First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sloman. They argue that it strains credibility that nearly all alleged victims—some no longer even residing in Florida—somehow retained the same small Miami law firm, particularly when those plaintiffs all appear on the government's confidential list of alleged victims. The letter emphasizes that the U.S. Attorney's Office had explicitly assured Epstein's counsel that this list would remain confidential, raising serious concerns about leaks or improper coordination.Beyond the appearance of a conflict of interest, the letter frames this pattern as evidence of inappropriate federal involvement in civil cases that should be independent of the criminal investigation. Epstein's lawyers suggest that the government's actions—or failures to prevent information sharing—are contributing to a coordinated legal assault that undermines fairness and due process. They stop short of making a direct accusation but clearly signal that the integrity of the prosecution is at risk if DOJ leadership does not intervene. The letter is essentially a warning shot to Main Justice, urging scrutiny of the Miami U.S. Attorney's Office before the situation escalates into a broader ethical or legal scandal.to contact mebobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:403-07.pdf

In a brand new filing with a. Federal judge, the Trump led DOJ just confessed that they may have lost (or buried from public view) about 3.2 million documents related to Epstein and the continued child sex trafficking coverup scandal. Michael Popok reports on a new letter to Federal Judge Englemeyer in which the DOJ and Pam Bondi backpedaled without explanation and now lower the number of Epstein files to be reviewed from last week's “5.2 million” to this week's “2 million” opening the door to more questions than it answers.

In a highly critical new court filing, the **U.S. Department of Justice has acknowledged that more than 2 million documents potentially responsive to the Epstein Files Transparency Act remain in “various phases of review,” even though the law required all unclassified material to be publicly released by Dec. 19, 2025. To date, the DOJ has only posted about 12,285 documents (roughly 125,000 pages) — less than 1 % of the estimated total — and says that hundreds of Justice Department attorneys and FBI analysts are still slogging through the backlog to identify, review, and redact material for release. The department also revealed that it uncovered over 1 million new files late in the process that were not included in its initial review, further expanding an already massive effort. This disclosure came in a letter signed by top DOJ officials including Attorney General Pam Bondi and was submitted to a federal judge overseeing compliance with the law, underlining how far the agency remains from meeting its statutory obligations.Critics — from members of Congress to survivors of Epstein's trafficking network — have panned the DOJ's slow pace and partial disclosures, arguing that the vast number of yet-to-be-released documents suggests a failure of transparency and accountability at the heart of a case tied to powerful figures and alleged systemic failures. The department defends its approach by pointing to the need for meticulous redactions to protect victim privacy and the logistical challenge posed by the sheer volume of records, but the continued delay past the congressional deadline has fueled accusations of obfuscation and insufficient urgency. With millions of pages still in review and no clear timetable for full release, the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files remains a flashpoint in ongoing debates over transparency, justice for victims, and public trust in federal institutions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DOJ tells court it has more than 2M Epstein documents to review ahead of redacted release | The Independent

Two high-profile public figures face charges, but different outcomes in court?! In two decades covering the biggest trials in America, Adam Klasfeld reports that he has never seen a successful selective prosecution defense—except for a groundbreaking case currently underway that could shift that trend. As legal scrutiny intensifies over the handling of classified information, law firms and legal professionals are being forced to reflect on the complexities of selective prosecution, evidence management, and the impact of public perception on justice. These questions aren't just for politicians—they're crucial for those who must advise clients through criminal investigations, data protection controversies, and challenges related to discovery and legacy data. This week's episode features acclaimed investigative journalist Adam Klasfeld, founder of All Rise News, joining us to break down the Espionage Act cases involving Donald Trump and John Bolton.  In this episode, you will get an eye-opening exploration into how the Espionage Act works (beyond the headlines), what differentiates cases like Trump's and Bolton's, and the strategic hurdles legal teams face when allegations of selective or vindictive prosecution arise. We brought Adam Klasfeld onto the show because his reporting has provided rare, on-the-ground insight into the preliminary legal battles shaping these headlines—and what they mean for attorneys and firms tracking the shifting landscape of high-stakes criminal litigation. On Part 2 of this series, Gregg and Adam discuss: - How Trump and Bolton's cases diverge—even under the same statute - The government's claims about national defense information and alleged security breaches - Judge appointments, prosecutorial independence, and political interference in high-profile cases - The nuts and bolts of handling classified evidence, SCIF construction, and reviewing sensitive material - What "selective prosecution" really looks like, and why it almost never succeeds - The role of e-discovery and evidence preservation in modern criminal litigation - Early legal maneuvers, defense strategies, and what to watch for as these cases develop Key actionable takeaways for law firms: - Prepare your case files and evidence management workflows for deep scrutiny, especially in matters involving national security or public figures - Assess the likelihood and risks of political interference in major prosecutions—document all case activity to protect against allegations of selective prosecution - Understand the strategic importance of pretrial motions, especially in cases involving classified or legacy data - Track emerging case law around vindictive prosecutions—it may shape the defense playbook in future headline cases If your legal team is thinking about how political winds and evidence handling influence outcomes, this episode will help you spot the unseen factors.

The next chapter in the Dan Markel murder saga is about to unfold — in an appellate courtroom with no cameras and no jury. Charlie Adelson's appeal is scheduled for oral argument on February 3rd, 2026. His attorneys will have twenty minutes to convince three judges that his 2023 conviction should be overturned. The arguments: pretrial publicity made a fair trial impossible, jurors discussed the case after being told not to, critical text messages were improperly excluded, and his own attorney had a disqualifying conflict of interest. That last one is especially interesting — because Charlie himself triggered his mother's trial delay by revoking his conflict waiver on the morning Donna Adelson's jury selection was supposed to begin. Now he's arguing that same conflict compromised his defense. Donna, meanwhile, was convicted in September 2025 and sentenced to life. She's filed her notice of appeal but hasn't submitted her full brief yet. Mother and son — both serving life without parole, both fighting through the same appellate court, neither willing to take the stand for the other. We break down what happens next, what Charlie's team is actually arguing, and why the odds of success in criminal appeals hover around five percent. The Markel case isn't over.

The DOJ missed a legally mandated December 19 transparency deadline on the Epstein files and has offered little more than vague assurances that it is still “working behind the scenes” to process millions of documents. That explanation rings hollow given how long the government has possessed this material and how predictable the transparency requirement was. Missing the deadline is not a clerical slip but a statement of priorities, signaling continued institutional resistance to full disclosure. The invocation of massive document counts functions less as a justification than as a delay tactic, one designed to exhaust public attention and blunt accountability while preserving protection for powerful interests connected to Epstein.The DOJ has repeatedly shifted the goal posts on Epstein transparency by turning clear legal and public demands into an endless process with no fixed endpoint. Each time a deadline or disclosure requirement approaches, it is met not with documents, but with new justifications—more records to review, more redactions to apply, more internal steps to complete. What began as a mandate for transparency has been reframed into a moving target defined entirely by the DOJ's own pace and preferences. This pattern allows the department to appear cooperative while functionally delaying accountability, keeping the most damaging material out of public view while insisting progress is being made. The result is a rolling postponement that undermines the law itself and reinforces the perception that when Epstein is involved, transparency is something the DOJ controls, not something it complies with.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The DOJ missed a legally mandated December 19 transparency deadline on the Epstein files and has offered little more than vague assurances that it is still “working behind the scenes” to process millions of documents. That explanation rings hollow given how long the government has possessed this material and how predictable the transparency requirement was. Missing the deadline is not a clerical slip but a statement of priorities, signaling continued institutional resistance to full disclosure. The invocation of massive document counts functions less as a justification than as a delay tactic, one designed to exhaust public attention and blunt accountability while preserving protection for powerful interests connected to Epstein.The DOJ has repeatedly shifted the goal posts on Epstein transparency by turning clear legal and public demands into an endless process with no fixed endpoint. Each time a deadline or disclosure requirement approaches, it is met not with documents, but with new justifications—more records to review, more redactions to apply, more internal steps to complete. What began as a mandate for transparency has been reframed into a moving target defined entirely by the DOJ's own pace and preferences. This pattern allows the department to appear cooperative while functionally delaying accountability, keeping the most damaging material out of public view while insisting progress is being made. The result is a rolling postponement that undermines the law itself and reinforces the perception that when Epstein is involved, transparency is something the DOJ controls, not something it complies with.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In a highly critical new court filing, the **U.S. Department of Justice has acknowledged that more than 2 million documents potentially responsive to the Epstein Files Transparency Act remain in “various phases of review,” even though the law required all unclassified material to be publicly released by Dec. 19, 2025. To date, the DOJ has only posted about 12,285 documents (roughly 125,000 pages) — less than 1 % of the estimated total — and says that hundreds of Justice Department attorneys and FBI analysts are still slogging through the backlog to identify, review, and redact material for release. The department also revealed that it uncovered over 1 million new files late in the process that were not included in its initial review, further expanding an already massive effort. This disclosure came in a letter signed by top DOJ officials including Attorney General Pam Bondi and was submitted to a federal judge overseeing compliance with the law, underlining how far the agency remains from meeting its statutory obligations.Critics — from members of Congress to survivors of Epstein's trafficking network — have panned the DOJ's slow pace and partial disclosures, arguing that the vast number of yet-to-be-released documents suggests a failure of transparency and accountability at the heart of a case tied to powerful figures and alleged systemic failures. The department defends its approach by pointing to the need for meticulous redactions to protect victim privacy and the logistical challenge posed by the sheer volume of records, but the continued delay past the congressional deadline has fueled accusations of obfuscation and insufficient urgency. With millions of pages still in review and no clear timetable for full release, the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files remains a flashpoint in ongoing debates over transparency, justice for victims, and public trust in federal institutions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DOJ tells court it has more than 2M Epstein documents to review ahead of redacted release | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Nicolás Maduro and his wife faced federal court charges including drug trafficking and gun crimes. During his court appearance, Maduro wore a jumpsuit and shackles, asserting he was kidnapped rather than legally detained. Plus, American forces are preparing to seize a Venezuelan oil tanker accused of evading U.S. sanctions. And the CDC is rolling out new childhood vaccine recommendations, scaling back universal guidance on shots like flu and hepatitis. But some doctors warn that the changes could raise risks and create confusion. These stories and more highlight your Unbiased Updates for Tuesday, January 6, 2026.

Today's Headlines: Looks like there's no easing into this new year. Trump dramatically escalated his Venezuela fixation this weekend, launching major strikes in Caracas and having Nicolás Maduro pulled from his home and flown to federal detention in Brooklyn. Maduro was re-indicted on familiar narcotrafficking charges, while Trump bragged that the U.S. is effectively “running Venezuela now” alongside American oil companies. But instead of installing Trump's preferred opposition figure, Venezuela's Supreme Court tapped Maduro's vice president Delcy Rodríguez as interim leader. Before all that, the U.S. had spent weeks chasing a Venezuela-bound oil tanker — until Russia swooped in on New Year's Eve, added it to its registry, and painted a Russian flag on the side to shield it from seizure. Trump also hosted President Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago with Stephen Miller, Jared Kushner, and Pete Hegseth, claiming “progress” while simultaneously echoing outrage on Putin's behalf after a friendly call with him. Abroad, Switzerland's army chief warned the country couldn't withstand a major attack, protests in Iran turned deadly as Trump threatened to “intervene,” and Trump ordered Christmas Day strikes on ISIS militants in Nigeria. On the home front, Trump froze all childcare payments nationwide after citing a Minnesota welfare fraud case involving a small group of Somali immigrants — while simultaneously moving to garnish wages from millions of student loan borrowers in default starting in January. One notable check on his power: the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 against his National Guard deployments to several U.S. cities. Meanwhile, the newly released Jack Smith testimony says he had evidence Trump committed multiple felonies that could rise to treason before his cases were shut down — and the massive Epstein document dump is already under scrutiny for delays, missing records, and questionable redactions, including internal DOJ emails noting Trump flew on Epstein's plane more than previously known.

During Jeffrey Epstein's first prosecution in Florida, his legal team adopted an unusually aggressive and confrontational posture toward prosecutors and investigators in the Southern District of Florida. Rather than treating the case as a standard criminal matter, Epstein's lawyers pushed relentlessly on procedure, jurisdiction, and internal DOJ dynamics, applying pressure not just through formal filings but through behind-the-scenes maneuvering aimed at shaping the outcome before charges could fully crystallize. This approach went beyond zealous advocacy and veered into open hostility, with Epstein's attorneys repeatedly challenging investigators' motives, authority, and conduct, while seeking to box prosecutors into a narrow set of options favorable to their client.In this episode, we dig into a newly unsealed Epstein file that lays bare just how acrimonious that relationship truly was. The document shows a toxic, adversarial environment in which negotiations were marked by distrust, sharp exchanges, and constant friction between Epstein's defense team and the lawyers tasked with investigating him. Far from a collaborative or routine plea discussion, the record reveals a legal battlefield where Epstein's attorneys treated federal prosecutors as obstacles to be neutralized rather than partners in resolution—offering a rare, unfiltered look at how the groundwork was laid for one of the most controversial prosecutorial outcomes in modern criminal justice history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00013538.pdf

The Kirkland & Ellis response treats the May 19, 2008 letter from the Southern District of Florida's First Assistant U.S. Attorney not as a good-faith summary, but as a document that actively distorts the historical record of the Epstein investigation. The firm argues that the letter is riddled with contradictions, misleading framing, and outright falsehoods that cannot be chalked up to sloppy drafting or innocent error. Rather than accurately recounting investigative decisions, the letter is portrayed as a post-hoc justification designed to sanitize prosecutorial conduct after the fact. Kirkland & Ellis makes clear that the document attempts to reshape reality—presenting disputed actions as settled facts and glossing over decisions that directly benefited Epstein.Critically, the response emphasizes that the letter's defects are not marginal or technical, but foundational, calling into question the integrity of the government's entire narrative. By systematically comparing the letter's assertions with what actually occurred, Kirkland & Ellis suggests that the misrepresentations were deliberate and strategic, intended to create a paper trail that could withstand scrutiny rather than reflect truth. The firm characterizes the letter as emblematic of how the Epstein case was managed from start to finish: facts were selectively presented, inconvenient details were omitted or reframed, and the official record was bent to support an outcome already decided. In this view, the May 19 letter is not merely inaccurate—it is itself evidence of how the Epstein investigation was manipulated and why accountability was avoided.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00013801.pdf

Maduro is in court on drug trafficking charges, which is great. But is Trump's unilateral, illegal and norm-busting law enforcement action also another way to change the conversation away from his proximity to the world's most famous child sex trafficking ring?

The CIA didn't just study the Gateway Process—they tried to weaponize it. In 1983, the U.S. Army sent Lieutenant Colonel Wayne McDonnell to a remote facility in Virginia to investigate a man named Robert Monroe. His mission? To determine if Monroe's "Gateway Experience" could be used to create the ultimate intelligence tool: a psychic spy capable of transcending time and space.

For years, the Epstein story sat half-exposed and half-buried—until the DOJ quietly released over 40,000 files. In this episode, investigative biographer Andrew Lownie breaks down what actually matters: missing evidence, sanitized redactions, and an investigation that admits to 10 co-conspirators yet charged only one person. From Clinton and Trump to Prince Andrew, the files suggest not incompetence, but protection.   Guest bio: Andrew Lownie is an award-winning investigative biographer, journalist, and publisher, widely regarded as one of Britain's most relentless royal historians. He is the author of Traitor King, The Mountbattens, and his latest book Entitled, which examines Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

In the early 1990s, a beloved first-grade teacher in Pennsylvania began receiving harassing, threatening letters from an anonymous sender. Her school principal, fellow teachers, and the parents of some of her students soon began receiving them too. As the ordeal wore on, the stalker slowly escalated from taunts to vile accusations and death threats—and then, finally, violence. From early on in the case, the police thought they knew the tormentor's identity, but it took 18 months to finally gather the evidence needed for an arrest. The trial to follow would be one of the most bizarre the state had ever seen. The case took twist after twist before reaching a conclusion nobody saw coming. Sources:Forensic Files, episode "Sealed With a Kiss"The Morning Call: https://www.mcall.com/1996/01/21/accused-stalker-says-victim-framed-her/The Morning Call: https://www.mcall.com/1997/01/30/custodian-says-teacher-was-often-upset-testimony-continues-in-pocono-mountain-stalking-case-at-school-fellow-instructors-job-is-at-stake/Pocono Record: https://www.poconorecord.com/story/news/2000/12/14/pm-pays-600000-to-settle/51084692007/https://www.poconorecord.com/story/news/2000/11/04/odd-teacher-harassment-case-returns/51083383007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&Forensic Files Now: https://forensicfilesnow.com/index.php/2020/06/27/joanne-chambers-and-paula-nawrocki-strange-lesson/Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfirehttps://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=enTwitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.
