Show notes

This week's story is that of an entire family killing another entire family. What could cause two brothers, their parents, and their grandmothers to annihilate a family of 8 while they slept? Could it be drug related? Or was it something a little bit closer to home?

93: Bad Blood: The DC Snipers Jul 30, 2019

Show notes

This week's story has a personal connection. One year after 9/11, the DC area was targeted by terrorists once again. John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo spent weeks randomly targeting unsuspecting citizens at gas stations, restaurants, and stores and killing them with a rifle. It seemed as if no one, anywhere was safe.

92: Bad Blood: The Briley Brothers Jul 23, 2019

Show notes

This week we're jumping into a brand new series about families gone wrong. Not only is the series new, but we're doing something new by revisiting an old story. In episode 46, we discussed the Mecklenburg 6's escape from death row. Today, we're telling you the story of how two of them earned their spot in the prison. No one really knows what went wrong to make the three Briley brothers so violent, but they left behind 11 victims and 9 more injured.
