Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast

This week there's a little bit of murder, and a whole lot of Moms. Join us as we discuss parenting, true crime obsessions and hemorrhoids in our episode with Jen Smedley and Kristin Hensley of the insanely popular #IMomSoHard videos. Nothing is off limits as we talk about Adnan Syed, the loathsome nature of Christmas cards, Robert Durst's burping issues (or maybe that's just Melissa) and even Nebraska's infamous serial killers.

Welcome back! This week we are headed to the land down under to discuss the murders of the Gonzales family in Australia. What would drive a seemingly normal young adult to kill his entire family? Hint: greed, and being an overall terrible human.

We're back! After a one week hiatus (like the cool kids say), we are back on the saddle and starting 2018 with a riveting case. This week we are discussing the abduction and murder of a top real estate agent in Arkansas. We discuss the perpetrator's complicated history, but more importantly we talk about the loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend who was taken far too soon. We also have a short interview at the end with Andy Tolbert with Safer Agent where we discuss a little about personal safety and ways you can try to protect yourself if you are ever in danger.
