Allow us to reintroduce Candace Mossler. Author Ron Smith wrote the excellent true crime book "No One Is Perfect: The True Story of Candace Mossler And America's Strangest Murder Trial." Muriel got her hands on this book back in October 2021 and quickly realized this is the exact kind of story that made her want to do this podcast in the first place. So she busted out a three part series and we loved it. Then like two years later, author Ron Smith hit us up on Instagram and was very supportive a...

1930s feminism, old timey adoption ethics, extreme classism, a respected woman way ahead of her time going hard in the paint with some batshit theories, a professional violinist and a carnival man.

The Milwaukee Police were up to some pretty drastic stuff in the early 80s, and Laurie Bembenek wanted in the boys club. Rampant partying, racism, misogyny, nachos, disco, wild jack off parties in broad daylight, boozing, some friendly fire, some not so friendly brutality, and tons of sexy hooking up. According to stats, Milwaukee had one of the lowest crime rates in the country. This story digs into the asterisk next to that statistic. Multiple RIPs in this one. Part 1 of 2.

Stingbean Akeman is an absolute bango-playing, Hee Haw comedy legend. He was a beloved innovator at the Grand Ole Opry, beast on the baseball field and loved stashing cash. He married Estelle who cruised around in brand new Cadillacs, never bothered living with indoor plumbing and also loved stashing cash. These two love birds were brutally, tragically taken from this Earthly existence by a tiny crew of dumbass haters who suffered tragedies of their own. Muriel does it like she always does and h...

Harvard in the 1800s was jammed full of dead bodies. But all the professors there were "doctors" and "gentlemen" and there's no way any of them would murder someone and try to hide the evidence amongst all the "science."

Damn, these are some good questions and you'll just have to tune in to find the answers. RIP all the turtles, boobies, trigger fish, and sharks.
