It’s a Free Space week!

Kenneth Minor. Porscha delights with the story of Dolly Oesterreich, who hid her (human!) side piece in the attic for over a decade.

"Horrorscopes: Leo & Scorpio" Lisa abandons her Taurus story (because Albert Fish is depressing) and instead touts the virtues of Leos. What follows is a meandering discussion about Lil Pump, Martha Stewart, fried chicken preferences, etc. During the break, we listen to voicemails from listener Meggie and discuss Slenderman, Andrea Yates, Law & Order: SVU, and Zac Efron.

Porscha jet-sets to London and leaves Lisa to survive the jungle solo. The 1985 Halloween murder of young Mary Stiles becomes a cat-and-mouse game between the police and a Zodiac Killer Lite. The self-styled “Madman” sends law enforcement a series of riddles whose answers will reveal his identity. Is the police’s knowledge of rare mythology strong enough to spare another murder? Then, Porscha’s back for a special Patreon Ask Me Anything session! The story of the time Lisa disappeared begins to leak, and the ladies discuss what they would do with the body if they had to perform fatal self-defense.

How do you want to be memorialized in your eulogy? Lisa finds a kindred spirit in Raymond Alan "Big Al" Brownley and shares the ironic stories of a deathly lifeguard party and an accidental electric chair. Porscha describes the life and secrets of Dorian Corey, a trans woman of color who delighted in life and and left behind a locked trunk of human remains in death. Theme: Unexpected Endings.

The ladies attempt a drinking game while telling drunk & disorderly true crime stories. Nobody dies in this one, but things get a little weird. Featuring the stories of a newspaper office prowler, Rudy Kurniawan's manipulation of the vintage wine market, and Australian con-woman and wellness blogger Belle Gibson's cancer hoax. Theme: Drunk & Disorderly.

Cold Case #1: Who is the Oakland County Child Killer that murdered four kids in 1970s Michigan? Was he a member of the freshly uncovered multi-state child pornography ring, and does he still dwell among us? Cold Case #2: In 1982 Chicago, seven people died within minutes of ingesting over-the-counter Tylenol pills spiked with cyanide. Who was responsible: an extortionist with a grudge, a gun-happy bar patron, or the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski? Miscellany: Shout outs, an update on “Folie à Deux: Part 2,” some tasteless Jon Hamm talk, brief but unfortunate singing, and a podcast recommendation for “It’s About Damn Crime.” Theme: Cold Cases

The stars align, the wine flows, and the ladies lose what’s left of their marbles while looking at their hometowns in the worst possible light. Featuring poison, strangers with candy and vans, and unsuccessfully specific guessing! Was Dallas’ Richard Lyons a loving landscaper or matrimonial murderer? In Houston, Dean “Candyman” Corll is the quintessential haunter of mothers’ nightmares everywhere. Theme: Hometown Murders. ** Patreon supporters will have access to Lisa’s collection of cat jingles. Keep your eyes peeled. **
-
The ladies share horrible cooking stories, digest the results of the “would you rather drink an eyeball smoothie or eat human ravioli?” poll, and apply the “marshmallow test” to determine sociopathic tendencies in their youth. Featuring the stories of the Winterberry Charter School first graders who plotted to kill a classmate, the creepypasta legend of black eyed kids, and Boston’s very own child serial killer Jesse Pomeroy. Theme: Creepy Kids.
-
Porscha says multiple nice things about the state of Florida, delivers a eulogy for beloved New Orleans mobile produce vendor Mr. Okra, and tells double twin tales -- all while knee-deep in rosé.

Gregory Taylor spent 6,149 days (16.8 years) in prison for the 1991 murder of Jacquetta Thomas -- a conviction solidified by fraudulent testimony from North Carolina blood-splatter analyst Duane Deaver (the very same Deaver of “The Staircase” infamy.) He was innocent. Cameron Todd Willingham was convicted and executed for a house fire that claimed the lives of his three young daughters, but the forensic arson investigation was an exercise in mysticism, not science. Lisa rants extensively about Rick Perry, who impeded inquiries into how arson is scientifically investigated in Texas in pursuit of political gain. Bonus: Porscha tells a delightful story about how she silenced a deli worker who catcalled her while she was wearing her Dateline shirt. (Our apologies to Rick Moranis, Petey Pablo, and anyone who hasn’t seen the end of Dexter yet.) Theme: Bad Forensic Science.

This episode has a little bit of everything: the joys of moist cake, the horrors of human stew, the freedom of fire, skin puns, forehead tattoos, and the woes of scrounging for alcohol. Both stories delve into intimate violence in different ways: Lisa follows Katherine Knight’s violent path to murder, dismemberment, and cannibalism while Porscha discusses Francine Hughes, who set her husband on fire to escape abuse. Theme: Free Space.
-
Who killed Anne Barber Dunlap? Porscha and Lisa investigate confirmed and imagined timelines in the 1996 unsolved murder in Minnesota -- and probably make strong political foes while speculating on “There, Solved It!” (a brand new fishbowel addition). Was it her husband? Or…..was it her husband? Things unravel from there. Lisa dives into the rabbit hole of google search results for “disembowelment” -- prompting incredulity, fun facts about mayhem, and disputes on medical realities -- and makes way too many Scream jokes (much to Porscha’s dismay). The discussion becomes “F the Patriarchy: Part 2” when discussing the story of the Florida man who manually disemboweled his girlfriend in 2015. Theme: Stomach Contents.

Porscha and Lisa share stories that will soothe and stoke your cold, dead, misandrist hearts. First, professional poisoner Giulia Tofana makes a killing selling arsenic-laced cosmetics as a way for women to escape their arranged marriages in 17th century Italy. In the second story, controversial Pakistani model and social media activist Qandeel Baloch is murdered in an “honor killing” after exposing the true colors of a religious leader. Theme: The Patriarchy Made Me Do It. Visit our Facebook group for a list of resources for further reading.
