Happy Holidays, friends! Get ready for a shocker of a show this week. Join Melissa and Mandy as they discuss the murder of Billie Jean Hayworth and Billy Payne, two parents, killed over a social media un-friending.

Also find out the one trash show Mandy watches and who Melissa will hide on Facebook (no one is safe). Learn the rules of being in the CIA and hear Mandy use more slang than is appropriate for women their age.   Promos this week from our friends at Murder Road Trip and Murderish Podcast.

Vampire Cult When you think of Moms and Murder the first thing you think is “Vampire Cult Killers”, right? Well, this week you will.

Today we’re discussing the unjustifiable death of devoted husband and father, Keith Gentry, and we will examine how his wife, Darlene found herself at the center of the investigation. Mandy goes on a weird rant about organ donation and offers up wisdom on where not to hide evidence. Melissa struggles with “manmade” vs. “naturally occurring” and introduces us to a key player who may just be the male version of herself. In the end, we both agree that you should always lawyer-up BEFORE being formally interrogated by police, and also that we need a thesaurus. And we have a big announcement. Huge. Giant. GINORMOUS!    The Moms introduce a new hashtag, so be sure to start thinking about how you’d want your Dateline episode to go and start submitting your #OnMyDateline blurbs for us to read on the show!   We have two FANTASTIC promo’s this week from our friends at In Sight and Criminology Podcast.    Check out our super cool merch store and deck yourself out in Moms and Murder gear! https://momsandmurder.threadless.com/ If you’d like to support The Mom’s and get some fun perks, you can check out our Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/momsandmurderpodcast !

Happy almost November 1st (or just Happy Halloween if you are not weird like Melissa and aren’t terrified of Halloween). This week Mandy forced Melissa to talk about a Halloween case, but in a true portrayal of friendship, she did not choose anything too scary or ghost related. This week the ladies are discussing the unsolved case of Cindy Song who went missing after attending a Halloween party. They also take a deep (deep deep deep) dive into one of the main suspects of her disappearance, Hugo Selenski. Grab a notebook and a diet coke because this one is going to take some brain power.    Promos this week are from our friends with Gone Cold Podcast as well as Not a Boring Soup Podcast. The ladies were also on Not a Boring Soup this week where they were chatting about themselves (boring), Mind Hunter (exciting) and 90 Day Fiance (life changing), so please check out their episode titled “A Murder for Everyone”.   WE HAVE A STORE!

Jasmine Fiore was a small town girl with dreams of living a big city life. After meeting Ryan Jenkins she thought she had found her prince, but she could not have been more wrong. Listen in as we discuss the rise and fall of reality star Ryan Jenkins and the heartbreaking murder of his new bride, Jasmine Fiore.
