Hello! For this week's episode, Kenna brings the story of Richard Matt and David Sweat's lives, crimes, and ESCAPE? These two men grew up in different places, but their childhoods were very similar. It's no surprise that they would both land in prison on murder charges, and they would eventually become cellmates. Welp, with the help of some unsuspecting people, the two men would lead law enforcement on a nearly month-long man hunt after escaping from prison. Join us as we talk about the men's lives, and the escape from Dannemora.

Thu, 13 Apr 2023 13:00:33 GMT

It's a case..... FROM DOWN UNDER! This week, Kenna talks about perhaps Australia's most infamous woman, Katherine May Knight. Katherine's childhood was absolutely awful, filled with abuse, rage, loss, and inappropriate conversations left and right. Growing older, Katherine knew she was not going to be walked all over again. However, she would take this domineering personality way too far, and end up making history as the first woman to be given a life sentence in Australia. Join us as Kenna talks through her life and horrific crime.

If you have heard of this case, we will be impressed! Jack Graham had a horrible childhood, being abandoned by both parents at a very young age. Despite his troubles, Jack joined the military at just 16 years old. However, going AWOL would be the first of a long line of crimes, ultimately leading up to a horrific act that shocked the nation. Join us as Kenna talks through Jack's life, crime, and confession.

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 08:45:13 GMT

Randy Kraft was an all around, well appreciated child growing up. Nobody could've anticipated his wild (and we're being generous) acts as a future adult. This is a hefty one, so join us on the first part of this crazy adventure that was Randy.

P.S. Due to the fact that this episode is significantly hard to listen to with to the amount of victims and graphic nature of the crimes, we felt a little comedic relief was deserved. After the episode is over, please enjoy some harmless "bloopers" of us trying to get our shit together (but, let's face it, who really does have it together?).
