Crime Crazy PodcastCrime Crazy Classic - Season 3, Episode 12 - In which we define Crime CrazyClose your eyes and picture the craziest crime story?
Do you picture the "Crime for Dummies" version? Everything cliche and sterotypical? Like someone sat down and asked themselves "what would a criminal do" and then did just that? (no one would do that. That's Crazy).
Or is it more like a crime story that might have been made up by a couple of high-as-balls 12-year-olds asked to write a crime story for their creative writing class?

2018-10-091h 10Crime Crazy PodcastSeason 3, Episode 14 - In which Crime Crazy goes Crime Cozy!Welcome to October! It's the time of year for fall leaves, pumpkin spice everything (if you're into that...ICK!) and seriously gory, scary true crime podcasts.
But, you know what, every true crime podcast goes that route. So, we've decided to mix things up a little this year. For the month of October, instead of going creepy, we're going cozy! Seriously scary crime stories with super cozy statistics about safety.
In our first story, we learn some new vocabulary and what people taste like. Then Diana turns the episode serious with a seriously unhappy ending...2018-10-021h 43Crime Crazy PodcastSeason 3, Episode 13 - In which there are smart(ish) thieves and a (really) dumb murdererRemember that episode where we decided we *might* be ok with killing someone who steals your AC?*

2018-09-251h 16Crime Crazy PodcastSeason 3, Episode 12 - In which we define Crime CrazyClose your eyes and picture the craziest crime story?
Do you picture the "Crime for Dummies" version? Everything cliche and sterotypical? Like someone sat down and asked themselves "what would a criminal do" and then did just that? (no one would do that. That's Crazy).
Or is it more like a crime story that might have been made up by a couple of high-as-balls 12-year-olds asked to write a crime story for their creative writing class?
Because, either way, we've got you covered this week!

Bonus: Diana *might* end up on next week's episode, and we chat about the cutest animal you've never heard of!

Well, we have some good reasons why this week. From a personal story to some old ones, 'keep in touch' proves to be really important!

2018-08-201h 04Crime Crazy PodcastSeason 3, Episode 7 - In which marriages don't work out for anyoneA wife goes missing - for decades. Who is the most obvious suspect? Could it be the man who never really reported her missing? (CALL. YOUR. PEOPLE!)
