In this episode, Elisha takes us back to 1920’s Los Angeles to discuss the conniving, murderous actions of a married homemaker who had secret lovers plus one living in the attic. Then Emily discusses the unsolved mass murder of a family and four crew members aboard a commercial fishing boat in Craig, Alaska in 1982.


Photos from both cases are up on our social media if you’re a visual person (like we are) and need to see where the crime went down. You can also find them on our website, in the Episode Discovery file.
