I Wish you put out more than one episode a week—I really enjoy your podcast! You do an awesome job 🤗 You and Annie Elise are my top two favorites. I grew up on Cape Cod, MA, where Christa Worthington was murdered. Christopher McCowan was convicted, but opinions are mixed. Some believe Jeremy Frazier, a kid I went to high school with, got away with it. I’d love if you could do a deep dive on this case. Thank you!
