WE'RE BACK, FRIENDS!

In this episode we explain our very long and unannounced hiatus. Sorry about that, but mental health is very important. We'll explain more in the episode.

We also delve back into the unsettling case of Mary Collins and tie up all the loose ends.

Trigger warnings: Murder, torture, and brief mention of sexual assault

Hey, Grossies! We're back with another gross one for you! Heather is taking a deep dive into a case from her neck of the woods: Charlotte, North Carolina. In this episode, she introduces us to Mary Collins, a sweet girl who was viciously tortured and murdered. This was originally planned to be one episode, but as Heather researched, she uncovered more of the story. She felt that it would be best to put it into two episodes to fully cover this gruesome story.

Trigger warnings: discussion of torture, murder, and sexual assault

Hi, Grossies! This week, Heather is taking a deep dive into the world of court procedures, specifically the creation and usage of the Alford Plea. This is the final episode in our procedures special. We hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have!

Trigger warnings: brief mention of sexual assault

We're back again with another installment of the procedures series. What started as a look into the creation of Megan's Law turned into a much deeper episode. As Sno was researching, she realized that Megan's Law was just one of many laws put into place to protect children from sexually violent predators. Join us as Sno discusses the laws and amendments to those laws that lead to what we know now as SORNA, the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act. She discusses the creation of the sex offender registry and how it helps protect children in America and even internationally.

Hey, Grossies! If you're like Heather and Sno, you love learning about the gross stuff that happens during all kinds of different things. Have you ever wondered what exactly happens during an autopsy? Sno certainly has, which is what sparked the idea for this episode! So sit back and enjoy some supremely gross content as Sno guides you through the history, types, and procedure of the autopsy.

Trigger warnings: Discussion of surgery and dead bodies

Hi gross! This week Heather goes in depth on body farms. What are they? Where are they? What do they do? How can you donate your body to one? All solid questions, my dude, and Heather answers them all!!! This is a quick and easy episode but if you're not into hearing about body decomposition, this might not be the episode for you. Other than that minor trigger warning, we hope you enjoy this fun little episode as much as we enjoyed recording and researching it!
