Murder Ciruminisode - Starlet Wahu(This is a true crime podcast. Listener discertion is advised.)
The death of a beautiful young woman raises a pertinent discussion. Everything at this point is allegations, speculations, some informed and others seemingly mean-spirited.

Women being unaware of how dangerous the men they spend time with are. A pattern has emerged over the seasons.
What are your thoughts?
