This week Bailey brings us a rough story of a lovely, vibrant life cut short in a senseless crime. Roxanne Wood just happened to live near a guy who was paroled only four months before he snuck into her home and attacked her. It took decades to clear...

Dear Crime Family: It's BnB Friday!! And today is another one where we can't wait to tell you our customary two stories, to first touch your heart and then bring you survivors to be proud of and positive about. Bailey found a case that you've surely never heard of: This is the story of a family in the 1980's, who were traveling from California to Massachusetts, and only a fraction of the way home,...

Hello, welcome back to the BnB! Do you feel it? Spring is in the air!! Or maybe we are just thinking of camping because this episode seems to be RV-centered. Beth starts with the story of the completely inexplicable murders of Cecil and Ruth Bybee, who were seasoned travelers. But the one time they broke their routine, they crossed paths with a man who was having some kind of cold feet, marriage-a...

Crime Family, this episode is crazy!!!We're so excited to share this with you! First, your favorite Bad Guy, Bailey, is bringing you an out-of-character story about an 8-year-old who was caught in the middle of over a decade of ridiculous, stalkerish drama that his parents tried to, but were unable to, extricate themselves from. This is the story of the murder of Cremer Young in mid-1960's Shaker...

Welcome back to everyone! Happy New Year! The first regular episode of 2023 brings us two stories, one from 1832 Philadelphia and the other from 2021 Atlanta.

Welcome to the New Year, Crime Family! Today's Just One B is (admittedly) a bummer with a positive spin, as told by Bailey. Jamie Grunwald and Daniel Mulligan; both survivors of two very different and random attacks in Green Bay, Wisconsin, only a few weeks apart.

Hello, dear Crime Family, and thank you all for being here for Episode 49! This week Beth is talking about the case that was known in the media as "The Kayak Killer," but we're not so certain it's that cut-and-dried. Angelika Graswald became infamous after her fiance Vince Viafore drowned on a couple's kayaking trip out to the ruins on Bannerman's Island in the Hudson River. The headlines focused...

Y'all! Episode 48 is in your earholes! Thank you for popping back in for today's stories, where Bailey is first with the completely pointless murder of Tina Marcotte. Tina deserved so much better than her killer did by her. He was a useless loser with a stupid lie of an alibi, and there was no way he was ever going to get away with it. But you don't want to miss how he solved THAT problem. It's gr...

Hi, Crime Family, thank you for joining us for this BONUS Episode that shares with you the devastating story of what happened to Jesse Downs.

Marianne Shockley was killed in her friend Clark Heindel's hot tub, and when he found out what...

Not gonna lie, Crime Family, Episode 46 caught us a little bit by surprise. We both independently came up with 'hometown' stories and didn't plan it that way. So, we welcome you on our trips down memory lane, as we have seen too much heaviness in the news lately and just needed to turn down the heat on current events. For a record-setting third episode in a row, Beth is back as the bad guy. This w...

Howdy, Crime Family, welcome back to bonus third-Tuesday! Today is a Just One B with Beth telling the story of a senseless killing in Medford, Oregon.

They got $15, the family ca...

Welcome back, Crime Family, this week we are on Episode 44, and you're not going to want to miss these stories.

Whoa, get ready for a wild episode 43, Crime Family. This week we flipped our traditional roles and Beth took the heavy story; Bailey brought up the mood with a really maddening and then amazing upper story. But first things first.

It's bonus week again, ya'll, and Bailey has another Atlanta mysterious disappearance for us today, in BONUS Episode 41.5. She brings us the strange story of Justin Glen Gaines, a college freshman who did what every college freshman has done--he went out to a nightclub, and was looking for a ride home. Somewhere between leaving the club in Duluth GA and his home in Snellville, less than 20 miles a...

First off, let us warn you that the audio this week is a little unpredictable, because we were recording remotely, across the Atlantic Ocean, and our network was acting like a brat. BUT we think we have more than made up for that, because this week, we were so honored to have the amazing UK / Ireland duo of Andrew and Rachael from Picture the Scene Podcast, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We to...

Wow, Episode 40, everybody! Thank you for joining us!

The first story, from Bailey, is the maddeningly stupid murderer who lured Kim Wall to her death when she was trying to interview him for an article she wanted to write. From the minute the two of them were...

Hello mid-week, our dear Crime Family. We have arrived on a Tuesday to bring you a bonus episode that will leave a chill in your bones.

Week 38, and here we are back at the BnB with stories to tell! Bailey is in front with the case of Lee Rotatori, who was a dietitian about to embark on a new and exciting new chapter in her life. But, as in most of our stories, she never got the chance to enjoy it, because she was cut down in the prime of her life. And even though her killer was finally identified through familial DNA, that answer...

Well, hello and welcome back to the True Crime BnB, where we are always 100% pet friendly....even when half of our bloopers consist of Bailey devising ways to murder the screaming demon. This episode had some operator error issues, and Beth had to record half of her story twice--so when we refer to 'the FIRST time we recorded this,' that's what we're talking about. In fact, Beth is the bad guy thi...

Welcome back to week 36 at the True Crime BnB, Crime Family! This week Bailey walks us through the perplexing disappearance of Sandra Johnsen-Hughes in California.
