Description

Happy Halloween and welcome to episode 54!

Cassie starts the episode off with the story of recently apprehended serial killer, Jason Alan Thornburg. His "missionary" killings spanned at least 3 states with 5 victims (maybe more), but we'll have to wait for his trial date to be set to learn more about this delusional asshole.

Hannah closes out the episode with yet another child rape and murder. Six-year-old Alanna Gallagher goes out to play one afternoon in July and is found just a few hours later wrapped and dumped in the middle of her neighborhood. Her killer looks like a Juggalo, lights Alanna's memorial on fire, and shoots a cop in the groin. Yikes.

We also have some special announcements! Enjoy!
