We've got a heavy hitter this week: Ed Kemper! Known as the "Co-ed Killer" or "Co-ed Butcher", he murdered ten people (including his grandparents and mother) in California between 1964-1973. Standing at a whopping six foot nine inches with a nearly genius IQ, once he chose a victim, there was little chance of them escaping with their life. We cover his sad upbringing, his brutal and disgusting crimes, and then jump into some pop culture references including Cameron Britton's incredible portrayal of Kemper in the Netflix series "Mindhunter".

We couldn't release an episode on 9/11 and not cover one of the worst terrorist attacks in American history. The events that took place on this day 17 years ago changed not only America, but the entire world forever. We briefly cover the events of the day and the aftermath before diving into all of the memorials, movies, documentaries, music, and more that resulted in the wake of the tragedy. We barely scratch the surface with our research so check out the website for more links and information! The families and friends of all the people who lost their lives on this day are in our thoughts today and everyday.

No crime this week, but an amazing amount of information on the dystopian, horror, sci-fi, British anthology series, Black Mirror! We love the show and there is so much to talk about, we're making this a multi-parter. This may be obvious but SPOILER ALERT for series 1 and 2 of Black Mirror. Honestly, if you saw the title, clicked on the episode, and are offended by spoilers for some episodes that came out over 5 years ago, this one is kind of on you. We'll see you guys next week for part 2!

The Highway of Tears is a nearly 500 mile stretch of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada where countless women have gone missing since 1969. Nearly all of the women have been Indigenous and many believe that racism plays a role in the underreporting of the case. We cover the little facts we have about the 18 most well known missing women and multiple documentaries that bring awareness to this tragedy.

Madame LaLaurie was a New Orleans Creole socialite in the early 1800s who had a thing for murder. She tortured and murdered many of her slaves in the now infamous mansion in the French Quarter. We discuss her history, crimes, and ties to a season of American Horror Story with our new social media manager Elissa! *Disclaimer* We did not know that Elissa's mic was not working properly until about three quarters of the way through the episode and because of time constraints, we could not re-record. A giant THANK YOU is in order for our wonderful mix engineer, Elliot, who was able to save the episode.

Chances are, you have seen an AMBER Alert at some point either on your phone, a highway message sign, or one of the various other ways the system distributes information. AMBER Alerts are used all over the world to aid in the recovery of abducted children. The system has helped recover hundreds of children since it was created in 1996 and continues to do wonderful things. In this episode, we explain how the system was created, how an alert is issued, and the stories of the children that inspired the creation of the AMBER Alert.
