The gang is all back together for the first time in a long time and oh man this episode is a doozy. First, we start by recapping Criminal Minds Season 7 Episode 20 "The company". If you know Criminal Minds, you know this episode. After the recap they jump into the true crime story this Criminal Minds episode was based on.

The Hookers subsequently kidnapped and held Colleen captive for 7 years, while controlling her with one single lie - The Company will kill you and your family if you try to escape. Listen to hear Colleen Stan's heroic tale of resilience and survival.

In a much anticipated return, Arod is back!!! And with him back we are covering a case in his neck of the woods. But first we recap CSI Season 13 Episode 8 "CSI on Fire" and it's a roller coaster for sure. Then Kenzi tells the story of the real life true crime that shares similarities in the episode. Between 2003 and 2005 a serial killer was operating in the East Corridor of Albuquerque and the police never even knew. Until 2009, when the mass burial site and the remains of 11 women were discovered. Listen to hear the story of the 11 women that were victims of the West Mesa Bone Collector, the corruption occurring in APD at that time, and the theories of who the Bone Collector is.

We promise we are back for a while now! And we are coming back strong with a SVU episode! This week we watched Law & Order SVU Season 13 Episode 3 "Blood Brothers".

From a boy in a small village in Austria to a bodybuilder to an actor to an American to Governor of California, this man has quite literally done it all. But all his success would come to ahead when the news breaks about an affair with a member of his household staff.

After coming back from a holiday break, the gang welcomes the Christmas season by recapping NCIS: LA Christmas episode Season 9 Episode 11 "All is Bright". Then we head back to New York City for our true crime that shares similarities with this episode. In 1977 New York City was not the glamorous city we may think it was. New York City was a desperate and dangerous place, but all the feelings of turmoil came to ahead when the whole city lost electricity. What followed is what some may describe as the Purge come to life.

We are back after a one week break due to sickness and travel. At least some of us are back..... Kenzi has guest host Brady on to cover NCIS Season 4 Episode 7 "Sandblast". After the recap, they discuss the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, which you might think you know? But did you know it started with the murder of a Rabbi in 1990? Or that the Joint-Terrorism Task Force had a man on the inside? And they knew about the bomb before it was detonated? Give the episode a listen to hear a piece of American history that is often overlooked.
