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.

This week we are discussing a case of two sisters, murdered in their own home. Lt. Joe "nickname TBA" Kenda was on the case, and we talk about everyone and everything including Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and the Real Housewives. We also read a Yelp review that is so powerful, it brings down a long-time Colorado establishment (okay, maybe not). Our #LastThingBeforeWeGo may fill you with rage. Sorry, not sorry.

You guys know Ali from her work on Days of Our Lives, or as the former host of the Biggest Loser, or maybe you know her from her work as an author, director and quite possibly for being the coolest person on the internet. Ali is a HUGE true crime fan (and Mom of two!) and we were lucky enough to have her on as a third host! This week we discuss a case that has all the ingredients to make a fascinating story.
