The Murder of Robert Limon- Part 2
This week is Part Two of The Murder of Robert Limon. If you haven’t checked out the first part, make sure you do before you start! And if you listen to a ton of true crime and can't quite remember what happened last week, here's a quick recap: When a man is found dead at work will officers be able to identify the suspect seen on a grainy surveillance tape? Was it his adoring wife? Or maybe her lover (please don’t call it that)? Join us as we discuss a case that leaves us in a blind rage and questioning everyone’s motives at Costco. This week’s promo comes from our friends 36 Times. Make sure you check them out!

The Murder of Tanya Tandoc
The Moms are back! After a week off for family visitors and selling houses we are back and gigglier than ever. This week the format is a little different as we had a shorter case. We debut a new segment in the beginning that quickly goes off the rails and even add in a piece of Reddit “information” at the end (against Melissa’s better judgement). This week’s case covers the murder of an amazing and eclectic woman in Kansas, and the coward who took advantage of her generosity and ultimately took her life.
