crime of passion

This week it is ALL THINGS VALENTINE'S DAY.... kind of.. 

To kick us off, Katie gives us the REAL story of Cupid.  The mysterious little munchkin who aggressively shoots people with arrows to make them fall in love.  But did you know he also has arrows to make you fall out of love?   And does he pit people against each other just for his own entertainment of human lust?   DRAAAMA! 

Next up, we offer you the horrendous true story of serial killer, Rodney Alcala.  Nicknamed "The Dating Game Killer" for his one time appearance on The Dating Game,  this man will surely send chills up your spine and make you second guess going on that Valentine's day date.  

Have the Day YOU Deserve and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! 

Cheers, 
Katie & Kelly

February 24, 1986, Van Nuys, California.  Twenty-nine-year-old nurse supervisor and newlywed, Sherri Rasmussen kisses her husband John Reutten  goodbye­­ at 7:20 in the morning, saying she’s thinking of calling in sick. When John arrives home that night , his beautiful wife is dead—beaten and shot three times at close range. When LAPD arrives, they decide unilaterally, this is a robbery gone bad. But was it? Twenty-six years, a family that refused to accept the case was cold and long lost DNA would turn this murder case and the LAPD on its head. This is the murder of Sherri Rasmussen. Three Bullets, a Bite and a Broken Heart.

Sweet, sweet Episode 16. This weeks episode is anything but sweet. In honor of Ghoulentine's Day (The day after Valentine's Day Kristen made up) we are talking about the Historic Cherry Hill Mansion in Albany, New York. The story centers around a man, his wife, and his wife's lover with poor spelling skills. Not the most hopeful story of love but one we think you'll adore anyway! It even has it's own theme song! Confused? We were too. Just listen, we sort of explain it!
