Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast

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!

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".

This week we are delving into the senseless murder of everyone's hero, William Walker. We will unravel the details of this poorly planned murder plot, tell you how criminals keep ruining food for us, and reiterate why you should always keep the number of accomplices to a minimum when planning a crime. Mandy tries (and fails) to pronounce another name and explains why she doesn't have any credit cards, and Melissa has a hilarious spin on exactly why her husband needs to keep her around. We contemplate the exact meaning of "18 years to Life" and reveal a very poetic and ironic twist to round out this horrible crime. Then, you'll want to stick around and see why Melissa can hardly keep a straight face while reading this week's #ImInvincibleWhen submissions and listen to our wonderful promo's this week from our friends at STAT! and Guilty: A True Crime Podcast. * Contest winner alert! * Last week we announced a small little contest for sending us your iTunes or Facebook reviews and we are excited to announce that our winner this time is Twyla!

It's our 10th episode! This week we discuss the untimely death of the lovely, Kelley Clayton. We'll go through what happened the night of her death and talk about why, if you're going to be dumb enough to commit a crime, at least be smart enough to buy a burner phone. Mandy considers bird-napping a cardinal, and Melissa explains why she will always have the world's smallest life insurance policy. We discuss a meet cute between a hockey player and a fan and have entirely different scenarios of what we think could have happened. One involves true love, the other involves missing teeth.
