wisconsin is all right. except for being prominent in true crime for strange and disturbing cases. Cara should be advised.
my grandmother's name was Mabel Eugene. I was going to name my youngest child, now 12, Sophia Eugene. I was going to call her Sophie Jean, however, because my grandmother went by Jean. my grandmother ADAMENTLY protested. She hated her name. i eventually decided not to.

love y'all so much! so happy you are back! just one question ❓ did y'all add one or two little Stews?
if you don't clap at a Black Baptist Church, someone is going to lay hands on you and pray for your healing, because obviously your hands are broken. Heal these hands in the name of Jesus! Amen, amen, and amen
it's great to have y'all back!
Great episode, glad y'all are back.
3:10, y’all.
I guess they're gone. Too bad, it was a really good podcast.
Come back please!
Miss you both so much. Hope y'all are doing okay and are safe. Please come back as soon as you can🌹🌹
I cannot understand why firing squads are no longer used. Cheaper, simple, reliable and humane.
That is one impressive little girl/woman. And I feel confident that she helps others a lot with her story and support.
I hope y'all are well.
I just cannot believe her. I have heard this case before and I've never felt that she was innocent. Great job as usual by BTM, tough subject to cover
Another great episode (Part 1 & 2). I agree it was probably the two guys but the guy who kept letting people go before him seems too suspicious to ignore. Could it have been all three? I listened to this yesterday and I can't remember if that is plausible...but it kind of makes sense they could have been in on this horrible act together.
Subscribed after one episode--very entertaining!
Y’all crack me up! I love your podcast. I started listening about a month ago, starting with your very first podcast of the Girl Scout murders. I love when cara tells stew to shut up! #shutupstew
I really wish that you two would not have cracked jokes and giggled through the episode.It is very disrespectful to the victim and her family.
This is 1 of my favorite podcast!! I love when Cara tells Stu to shut up. I listen to y'all when I'm painting. Thanks for bringing us true crime stories we have never heard before. Wendy
