Show Notes

Hey friends!

On this podcast, we will be talking about all thing’s crime. From murder, to missing persons, to mass shootings, to just plain old spooky! Layered with some lighthearted humor...and some not so lighthearted humor. Please be advised that this podcast is filled with adult content and explicit language; listener discretion is advised.       

Today’s episode is another birthday special! Why not celebrate one of our podcast hosts birthdays with giving you the gift of a bonus episode about the crime that got Elizabeth interested in all of this?

On April 20th, 1999, the worst school shooting, at that point in time, in the United States happened. Several were killed and dozens were injured. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were the two boys who committed this awful shooting at Columbine High School. For our part 1 of the discussion about this massacre, we dive deep into Eric and Dylan’s lives and what took place that led up to this devastating event. How did they get there? How did they get weapons? How did no one notice they were planning this shooting?  Listen to find out how we got here! Keep your eyes peeled for part 2 coming out on Saturday!
