This week, the gals discuss a special patron picked case, which took place in their home province of Ontario, Canada. Currently serving 4 life sentences, Peter Demeter had the life most of us dream about – a good career, a beautiful family, a gorgeous home, and more. But it seemed that no matter what he had; he was always chasing something. Tune in to hear more about the horrible crimes and schemes surrounding Peter, along with the tragic death of his wife, Christine Demeter. Need a distraction? We got you.
Thank you to our patron, Jon, for picking this case!
