I’m gonna need “Heebie Jeebs” on a sweatshirt immediately

Did u guys listen to the first part of this? Garrett said ‘ohhhh what did you just say’ 😅 it just made no sense on how it was In there.

Wow - good job! I knew this case but you told it from such a different perspective that I wasn't sure it was the same case until u mentioned his wife and the body found on the property by the child. There's also some great stories about the property being super duper haunted - for those interested! RIP to all the victims. So incredibly awful for them and their families.

I love your beginning episodes! When I’m all caught up on all of my true crime podcasts, I often will go back and listen to yours at the very beginning! Your podcast reminds me of my favorite summer

You should 100% release that first show!! It will showcase how far y’all have come! And be fun to hear for us devoted listeners 🖤

You should redo your first episode! Like do that case for us
