51: The Toolbox Killers: Part One

Hello and welcome to Crime & Spirits, where your hosts, Bree & Suze (that's us!), teach you all about true crime, spooky stories, and how to make one heck of a good cocktail.

Join us this week while we dive into the serial killer duo known as The Toolbox Killers. They were highly disturbed and deranged individuals responsible for killing five teenage girls across a five-month period in the late 1970s. This week we're going to cover all the individual background information on Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, the two men that made up the toolbox killers. Additionally, we'll talk about how they met, how they planned and prepared to do what they did, and the first couple of murders they committed together.

For sipping along this week Suze has prepared two treats for us. This case is a tough one, so she wanted to make the drink a bit lighter. First up is a Rose Sangria.

For some of us, the Easter holiday falls on the day of this episode's release. Suze made a couple of chocolate bunny shots that are so delicious. This holiday you can show off your new mixology skills with these easy and festive shots.

Not a drinker? That's okay! Make yourself a cup of coffee or just grab a bottle of water. It doesn't matter what you're sipping along with, we're just happy to have you here!

Come hang out with us on social media! This is where we post drink recipes and fun how-to videos.
