Enjoy this week's rerun while Jessica is out on her trip, see you next week for a brand-new episode!
Unicorns… Dragons… Mermaids… Ghosts… Angels… Why not Giants?! Did they exist? Chime in this week while we have a fun discussion about giants and the evidence that suggests, why yes, they did exist (maybe they still do!) and ancient texts from all over the world that report the same details. If you believe in dinosaurs, giants aren’t too far off. They are just taller, angrier, and hungrier dudes than we’re used to.

This week we are going back to one of our earliest episodes, the first true crime story that Kendra covered. We originally had this split into two episodes but with the remaster, you can now here the whole story in one sitting. 
The I-5 Killer, Randy Woodfield, was on a rampage stretching from Washington to California in the early 1980s. He was terrorizing victims daily, sometimes even more than once in a day. Those that came into contact with Randy never knew what might happen if he walked into their workplace on I-5 He could just be there to rob the place and leave or if you were one of the unlucky victims, you would be subjected to his twisted sexual assaults and sadly in the worst case, you might not make it out of the encounter alive. 
As of today, we still don't quite know how many victims Randy is responsible for but it is estimated to be anywhere between 18-45 young women. Thankfully, he is locked away in prison for the rest of his life. 
Listen now for all of the details around this monster that unleased horror on so many young women along the West Coast.

This week we cover two true crime cases in our first “Under the Microscope” episode. Two young women whose lives were tragically cut short in shocking acts of violence. Despite their different backgrounds and being from opposite sides of the world, both cases captivated public attention and exposed deep-rooted societal issues. Their stories share haunting similarities in the betrayal of trust and the devastating impact on their communities, leaving behind legacies that sparked calls for change and justice.
First, Kendra covers the gruesome murder of Abby Choi, a 28-year-old Hong Kong socialite and fashion icon. Her dismembered body was found in February 2023, shocking the city and making international headlines. We'll explore the twisted plot involving her ex-husband's family, financial disputes, and a makeshift "butcher shop." This horrifying case is a blend of glamour, greed, and unthinkable violence. Think Parasite meets Dexter.
Afterwards, Jessica takes us back to her home state of New Mexico. We explore the tragic event that unfolded at the Sunshine Theater in Albuquerque on July 16, 2003. Sixteen-year-old Marissa Mathy-Zvaifler's night out to see Atmosphere in concert took a dark turn, leading to a case that would shock the nation and change laws. We'll uncover how a seemingly ordinary venue became the site of a horrific crime, exposing critical flaws in the justice system.

In this week’s episode, Jessica brings us the harrowing true crime story chronicled in Michael Grimm's book "Tell Edith Goodbye." Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression in 1935, in the picturesque yet unforgiving Skagit Valley of the Cascade Mountain Range, a destitute family struggling to survive meets a mysterious drifter known only as "the Finn." This stranger's arrival sets in motion a chain of events that will forever alter the lives of those involved. A dangerous infatuation developed between the youngest daughter, Edith, and the Finn. He stopped at nothing to make her his. This once large, loving family was torn apart at the seams. All because they let the wrong person in.

This week we are back to True Crime as Kendra brings us the wild case that is known as the Keddie Cabin Murders. In April 1981, in a small Northern California town, a mother, her teenage son and his friend were found brutally murdered. Additionally, another member of the family, a 12 year old girl was just missing altogether. Authorities arrived right away and began investigation and although there were two very likely suspects identified, the case remains unsolved to this day. 
We explore the haunting details of the crime scene, the suspects that have emerged over the years, and the many theories as to what happened that night and who was responsible, some believing up to 6 people were involved in these murders!
Join us as we uncover the mystery of the Keddie Cabin Murders, a story of tragedy, conspiracy, and the search for justice that continues to haunt Keddie and the investigators still working the case today.
