Erin Caffey
As the late, great, Aaliyah once said "Age ain't nothing but a number"… that is, unless you're a 20 year old high school senior dating your 16 year old classmate who has decided to have her entire family killed and needs your help! Then the number to focus on is not how many years between birthdays, but how many birthdays you'll spend behind bars. This week we discuss the distressing story of Erin Caffey from Alba, Texas. We breakdown the timeline and discuss why being an accomplice is the worst idea ever. Mandy tries to explain a wolf-pack mentality, while Melissa threatens to call the police on anyone who tries to get her to commit a crime…including Mandy. We've also got an #iminvinciblewhen you won't want to miss. Remember to check out our friends at Just Another Murder Podcast! Happy listening! Special thanks to @leonagraphicdesign for our awesome flyer for this week's episode! #momsandmurder #truecrimetuesday #erincaffey http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1287412/Haunting-rendition-Amazing-Grace-murderer-Erin-Caffey.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9j5hy83J5s Learn more about your ad choices.
