This week I'm joined by Alyssa to dive into one of the most disturbing and bizarre modern true crime cases: the “Doomsday Mom” murders of Lori Vallow Daybell. In Part 1, we unravel the apocalyptic beliefs, suspicious deaths, and the chilling disappearance of Tylee Ryan and J.J. Vallow that shocked the nation. This case is wild, recent, and deeply heartbreaking — and we’re just getting started. Part 2 drops next week, where we’ll cover the discovery of the bodies, the trials, and the jaw-dropping courtroom moments.

OKAY LOVE YOU BYE!

Nathan and I discuss the heartbreaking, awful murder of Irene Garza. A woman with her whole life ahead of her, tragically cut short by someone she should have been able to trust. Poor Irene never saw it coming. And neither did we!

James and I take a wild ride through the murder of Ajike AJ Owens, a mother who just wanted to protect her child, and their neighbor, Susan Lorincz. A senseless murder with dangerous undertones that sparked a huge debate about Florida laws. This is one of my favorite episodes yet. DONATE TO THE STANDING IN THE GAP FUND.

Ever heard of Slenderman? Ever heard of the girls who stabbed their friend because Slendy told them to? No? Give this episode a listen- it's wild. I'm joined by my anonymous bestie (or Gov. Rick Perry, as they have dubbed themselves). Such a fun yet heartbreaking episode.

We've come to the end of FWC's first multi-part series on the Austin Yogurt Shop Murders. This episode focuses on the theories, the whodunnit's, and the wacky things people came up with before the case was finally solved in September 2025. Turns out the killer wasn't even on the radar. Thank you to Cortney for jumping into this case with me! Enjoy!
