Welcome to all of our new subscribers and listeners, and we thank our whole Crime Family for being here again! Week 35's stories have made our blood boil, and then made us hopeful in remembering there are some really amazing people in the world. We'll just warn you: Bailey's story had us so angry that there is more than our normal swearing in this episode. But if you hear the story of the disgrace...

Episode 34, and we are both on a roll in this one. Bailey brings us the third installment of her 'Campus Murders' series with a mysterious death that took place on the campus of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Jack Davis, Jr.'s death was shoddily investigated, and none of the original findings (mostly assumptions) stood up under the eye of a rockstar pathologist. Beth has a survivor story, wit...

This week at the BnB, we're asking ourselves: Is it just us, or is the world cruelly ridiculous? Beth is starting things off this week in Episode 33 with two senseless murders that, in the end, were all for nothing.

They were all...

Hello, Crime Family, it's an unusual day at the BnB.
