Stacie and Kristie Reed | 91 Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

1999, Stacie Reed & Kristie Reed, were brutally attacked after returning home from school. Stacie's friend, Paul Powell, was arrested and when we talk about people being the worst, he's up there. After sending taunting letters to the victims' families & the prosecutor, it's clear he thinks he is the smartest one in the room, but don't worry, his actions lead to a new phrase we coined: "dip shittery".

Bob and Kay Swartz | 90 Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

9-year-old Annie Swartz woke up to what sounded like a struggle downstairs. She froze in fear when she heard her dad yell for help but before she knew it, there was silence. Once the door slammed, she looked out the window to see a man with an axe walking into the woods. Based on the description, police were confident they knew who it was but they were fooled...

Angie Dodge | 89 Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

In 1996, 18-year-old Angie Dodge was found murdered in her Idaho Falls, ID apartment. Fortunately, they had a perfect DNA sample. Unfortunately, things were mishandled. Someone was charged relatively quickly, but was it the right person? It takes over two decades (and CeCe Moore, duh) to find out & this story doesn't end there. Listen to this case all the way through to hear the sad, shocking conclusion.

Their mother, Nikki, was found in her bathrub stabbed over 80 times after a very clear struggle. There's no shortage of suspects but the evidence found at the crime scene tells a horrifying story no one expected.

Tanya Kach | 86 Feb 08, 2024

Show notes

Tanya Kach was going through a rebellious stage when her parents got divorced and her dad moved her to Mckeesport, PA. Middle school is a terrible time to be a new student and she struggled to make friends. She would often run away only to come home a few hours later and in February 1996, her dad and stepmom woke up to what they assumed was one of those days: Tanya was gone. Except this time, it would take over a decade for them to get answers and it was not at all what they expected.

Susie Newsom Lynch & Fritz Klenner | 85 Feb 01, 2024

Show notes

Susie Newsom was born into a very prominent family in North Carolina. When she was in college, she met her future husband Tom Lynch. They got married, had two sons & Tom started his own dental practice. However, Susie was miserable and when the marriage fell apart, she started behaving differently, to say the least. After she sparked up a new romance with the most unlikely of people, Fritz Klenner (And I mean...very unlikely. You'll see why...), things really started going south. How it all ends is incredibly tragic and will have you on the edge of your seat. There's a reason this is referred to as the Bitter Blood Murders.
