It’s hot. It’s busy. There are outdoor things to be done. I mean, not by US, but by other people. And we have shit to do, too.
Mini-sota minisodes mean you get an episode every week and Eryn doesn’t cry everytime she sees her podcasting computer.
So, on this week’s first ever INTENTIONAL minisode, we’re covering a schemer whose name you’re going to recognize for sure. But did you know he did THIS?
And Eryn has learned all about water towers - that mysterious town-marker that you probably never gave a whole lot of thought to!

If you were to come home and find someone else living there, you’d call the cops, right? But what if the cops couldn’t or wouldn’t remove the person from your home? Believe it or not, more than one person on today’s episode went through that exact thing!

"To get away with murder, you simply don't tell anyone."
Dr. Spencer Reid, Criminal Minds, Season 2: No Way Out
But for our criminals this week, it would have taken a little more. Like "stop killing people," or "don't act EXACTLY like a serial killer!"

Monday Apr 29, 2019
Did you know there have been studies done to determine the most common names of criminals? Let's just say that, in certain states, avoiding "Howards" is a good idea!
In this episode, we continue threads that are both ridiculous and tragic. From a completely absent motive to a small and familiar town, we talk murder and craziness.

Tuesday Apr 09, 2019
Two things you should know about Diana: every time she sees an abandoned garbage bag on the side of the road, she thinks there could be body parts in them (It’s her mom’s fault) AND This week was her birthday!
So, a garbage bag containing a body (ish) stars in Eryn’s story, while Diana continues her thread with a geographic theme as we move to Aberdeen, Scotland for a very misleading murder.
