Our True Crime Podcast

On the first day of our Seventh Annual "12 Nightmares Before Christmas," we are heading just north of us to Fairfield, Iowa.  On November 2, 2021, the community of Fairfield, Iowa, was devastated when beloved Spanish teacher Nohema Graber, 66, went missing. She hadn’t been heard from since she set out for her daily walk in Chautauqua Park. Just one day later, on November 3, her badly beaten body was discovered—mere hours after she was reported missing. Authorities found her remains concealed beneath a tarp, a wheelbarrow, and railroad ties. The police confirmed that Graber had suffered significant trauma to the head. This cruel act shattered the peace of a close-knit community, leaving residents not only devastated but grappling with a haunting question: what could drive someone to commit such an unthinkable act of violence? The answer would emerge just days later, but the age of the perpetrators and the motive behind their actions would leave the community speechless.Join Cam and Jen of Our True Crime Podcast to discuss “The Brutal Murder of Nohema Graber.”Special thank you to Abby Stout, who suggested this case to us. Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic by our EP Nico @theinkypawprintSources:https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/nohema-graber-jeremy-goodale-willard-mille-b2448484.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRV4LzHE71khttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeremy-goodale-iowa-teen-sentenced-killing-spanish-teacher-nohema-graber/https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2023/07/06/fairfield-teacher-murder-teen-gets-life-in-prison-at-sentencing/70387288007/https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/nohema-graber-why-spanish-teacher-070137251.htmlhttps://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/18vij6a/november_2021_two_teens_planned_executed_and/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66111470https://www.facebook.com/nohema.m.graber/https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2022/03/22/iowa-teens-jeremy-goodale-willard-miller-nohema-graber-bat-snapchat-court-documents/7135981001/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nohema-graber-murder-willard-miller-jeremy-goodale-killed-spanish-teacher-over-bad-grade-iowa-prosecutor-says/https://www.behnerfh.com/obituaries/nohemacastilloycastillo-graberhttps://lawandcrime.com/crime/teenager-who-helped-beat-spanish-teacher-to-death-over-co-defendants-failing-grade-is-sentenced/

We’re heading to Hinckley, Utah—a remote place tied to one of the most heinous crimes in Utah’s history. It was October 14, 1979, a crisp autumn afternoon in Salt Lake City, when four-year-old Alonzo Daniels was last seen playing in the courtyard of his apartment complex. When his mother checked on him, he was nowhere to be found. Alonzo had simply disappeared.  Desperation set in as relatives and neighbors combed the grounds and nearby streets; their search turned up nothing. Police arrived, questioning residents door-to-door. One of the first to be interviewed was Roger Downs, a neighbor who lived directly across the hall from the Daniels family. Downs denied knowing anything about the boy’s disappearance, his demeanor was calm, and his answers were routine. Leads poured in, but each one proved fruitless. Alonzo had seemingly disappeared into thin air, leaving a community haunted by unanswered questions. What no one knew was that little Alonzo had already been murdered as his mom continued her search for him. The killer was hiding in plain sight and was far from being done.Join Cam and Jen on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled ‘I'd Do It Again: Arthur Gary Bishop.’Listener Discretion by @OctoberpodVHSAll Music is by our Editor @theinkypawprintProudly sponsored by sleepcreme.comThe World's Original and Finest CBD Topical for SleepOrder your bottle at sleepcreme.com.

The summer of 1975 found the United States obsessed with Magic 8 Balls, mood rings, and disco music. People partied and danced to ”The Hustle,” all while wearing their hip-hugging bell bottoms. The movie Jaws dominated the box-office, and a new horror writer named Stephen King had just appeared on the scene, scaring anyone who dared to read his books. The people of Florida were going through a real-life horror story: Women, some as young as fourteen, were disappearing and turning up dead in canals. Many in law enforcement were adamant that there was no connection to any of the dead women that year, and others thought they were all connected.Join Jen and Cam as they discuss 'The Year of Terror: Florida’s Flat Tire Murders.'Anyone with information on the murders of Barbara Schreiber and Darlene Zetterower or on any of the other murders mentioned in this podcast is urged to contact Det.

On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94 would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs.Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled web of lies, and ultimately – murder.The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past.But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth.This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers.From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams.

The Memorial Day weekend brought swarms of tourists to Niagara Falls, eager to celebrate under the sun. Just an hour away, a group of local teens gathered at Wayne Fleet Quarry, diving into the water and marking the unofficial start of summer. Alison and her friends, thrilled to leave the school year behind, decided to up the ante by jumping from an old bridge spanning the quarry. But as they reached the top, something unusual in the water caught their eye: a large, bulky bag emblazoned with "US" in bold, black letters. Curiosity piqued, they made their way down to inspect it. But the water around the bag turned red before they could haul it to shore. This wasn’t discarded junk—junk doesn’t bleed. Panicked, the teens scrambled up the road, frantically waving down a passing car, whose driver quickly called the police.Join Jen and Cam of Our True Crime Podcast on this episode entitled ‘A Body in the River: The Murder of Dr. Paul Campagna.’Listener discretion is by @octoberpodVHS.All Music is by our Editor @theinkypawprint.This episode is proudly sponsored by Yaman.Welcome to Yaman the very latest and greatest in J-Beauty innovations Listeners can visit YA-MANUSA.com/discount/TCP for a 20% discountAlso proudly sponsored by sleepcreme.comThe World's Original and Finest CBD Topical for SleepOrder your bottle at sleepcreme.com.

It was frigidly cold in January of 1994, with snow drifts a foot high, as twelve-year-old Rebecca Savarese made her way to Notre Dame Middle School in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Suddenly, there was a man at her elbow. She was completely taken off guard because he had approached her from behind. She gave a startled jump, and the man said to her, “Do you see this gun I have?” Rebecca said that she had seen it.  The man then pointed at his truck and instructed her to get in. Rebecca balked, and although she remained calm, her mother’s words echoed through her mind. Never get in a stranger’s vehicle.When the man urged her to get into his truck, Rebecca pretended as though she was having an asthma attack. She pretended to have trouble breathing and feigned dizziness. Her actions took the man off guard for just a split second. He grabbed her and got a hold of her backpack. Rebecca wriggled out of it and took off running down the street, leaving the man holding her pack.  As she was running Rebecca saw a man standing outside a bank, “Sir, sir, sir! A man tried to kidnap me!” she said. The man ushered her into the bank, where they called the police.  There was no way that Rebecca Savarese could have known that morning when she got out of bed that she was going to inadvertently play a part in catching a child killer.  She had no idea that her actions on that day would bring closure to two families and probably stop an untold number of other children from experiencing a horrific early demise. She wasn’t thinking about any of that. But when the moment came, Rebecca knew one thing. She wasn’t getting in that vehicle. “If I’d gotten in that truck, I just knew I was going to end up someplace dead,” she later told reporters. Of that, Rebecca was most likely correct.Join Jen and Cam as they discuss "Evil in the East: Sara Anne Wood & James Bernardo"If you have any information that could help locate Sara Anne Wood's remains, please contact The Major Crimes Unit at 315-366-6000.A huge thank you to Sleep Creme for sponsoring this episode.

Like many Americans, Thanksgiving is a cherished occasion—a time to gather with family, indulge in turkey and stuffing, and celebrate the bonds that hold loved ones together. This Thanksgiving event hosts three generations of family ready to enjoy a day of food and good company. After a busy day of food preparation, the guests all take their seats to eat the giant feast.  A tradition that the family has been doing for many years starts right after everyone is stuffed from eating, a singalong by the piano. The tranquil joy would come to a shocking end as bullets rang out.  It was a Thanksgiving that should have been like any other—a night for family, food, and tradition at a home in Jupiter Florida not murder. Join Jen and Cam on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled ‘A Thanksgiving Massacre 20 Years in the Making: Merhige Massacre’Listener Discretion by @OctoberpodVHSAll Music is by our Editor @theinkypawprintThis episode is proudly sponsored by Yaman.

In the heart of Albuquerque, Pastor Greg Griego often stood before the fire department and the local jail, sharing his powerful testimony of redemption. Once entangled in the world of gangs in California, he had found a new path through faith, a transformation that resonated with those who listened. He was well-known and well-liked in the community.  Greg Griego. Once a soldier in the 82nd Airborne Division, Greg had led a life marred by drugs and gangs. However, during a stint in jail in California in the early 1990s, he experienced a profound transformation, finding faith and embracing Christianity. This pivotal change set him on a path of redemption, ultimately leading him to serve others. While his wife, Sarah, dedicated herself to homeschooling their ten children in their modest home in the semi-rural South Valley. Greg had five children before he met his wife, Sarah, with whom he had five more. Greg turned their backyard barn into a sanctuary for released prisoners. Most would agree that Greg and Sarah were strict parents. They prohibited their children from playing violent video games and meticulously monitored their television choices.

This case is shocking. Shocking in many ways and I can't believe it's not talked about.The only place I've seen this is on Southern Gothic from our friend Brandon. When he first saw a small blurb about it in a book, he didn't even think it was true so he asked Lauretta to do some research. Sure enough, it is 100% true. As sensational as it was and is, I can't believe it's been forgotten. So after you listen, make sure you catch the Southern Gothic episode "The Curious Case of Knox Martin."In late March of 1879, in Davidson County, Tennessee, a wagon carrying a prisoner by the name of Knox Martin was headed to the gallows. John Kirk and Sons were busy building the scaffold that would host the hanging later that afternoon.Mothers pulled their children out of school so that they could take them to the execution. Nearly 10,000 people were making their way to the location nestled between two ridges; some had even camped out overnight to guarantee the best view. For years to come, some folks in attendance at this execution would have an unbelievable story to tell. It appears that in the days leading up to his date with the gallows, Knox Martin was approached by two doctors from the nearby Vanderbilt University, who, having great interest in galvanism, and who, having read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, wondered if Knox Martin would allow them to use his dead body for an unusual and ethically questionable experiment. Knox Martin had agreed.Join Jen and Cam as they discuss "The Second Death of the Bells Bend Killer: Nashville's Frankenstein."A huge thank you to Sleep Creme for sponsoring this episode.

It is  January 8, 1981, and we going to Lassen County, California, where we encounter 21-year-old Kevin Thorpe. After completing high school, Kevin enlisted in the Navy, serving for three years before returning to his hometown of Ridgecrest, California. Upon his return, he met a young woman named Laura Craig at a social gathering. Laura, a mother to a young child, captivated Kevin, who was undeterred by her circumstances; his affection for her was profound. Their relationship developed quickly and intensely—an embodiment of the adage, “When you know, you know.”Eager for a fresh start, Laura and Kevin packed their belongings into Kevin's white Ford Elite, towing a utility trailer, and left Ridgecrest for Oregon, where they hoped to be closer to Kevin’s brother. They made the bittersweet decision to leave their baby, Treena, with Laura’s mother until they settled in. As they took the scenic backroads north on Highway 395, a sudden jolt signaled trouble: the trailer had a flat tire. They decided to press on to Madeline, where they encountered a seemingly helpful man who offered assistance and invited Laura to warm up inside with his wife. Just as they began to fix the tire, three other men arrived, discussing plans to meet women in Oregon. Though Kevin wanted to continue their journey that night, little did they know, that the warmth of the cafe would soon be overshadowed by a chilling darkness, as their lives would be forever altered by the intentions of those they encountered.Join Cam and Jen on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled ‘Real Life Boogeymen: The Murders of Kevin Thorpe and Laura Craig.’Listener Discretion by @OctoberpodVHSAll Music is by our Editor @theinkypawprintThis episode is proudly sponsored by Yaman.

In Logan County, West Virginia, there have been sightings of the ghost of a murdered woman that haunts 22 Mine Road. But underneath the spooky legend and sightings is a chilling story about the free-loving, warm-hearted Mamie Thurman who knew too much.It was the height of the Depression, and America saw the lowest numbers recorded on the stock market exchange. Prohibition was in full swing, and speakeasies and gambling houses permeated the town of Logan. On Wednesday, June 22nd, 1932, a berry picker found Mamie Thurman's body on the side of a mountain. Her throat had been slashed.  While investigating, police found that Mamie had been living a double life. A life that was deemed immoral by most of the town. Clarence Stephenson, a black "odd jobs man," would be found guilty of the murder of Mamie Thurman and sentenced to life in prison, where he claimed his innocence until the day he died.To this day, many think Clarence Stephenson is innocent, and Mamie's murder is still unsolved. And there are some that believe Mamie haunts 22 Mine Road because her real killer was never brought to justice.Light a pumpkin-spiced candle for spooky season and join Jen and Cam as they discuss "Something About Mamie: The Murder of Mamie Thurman."A huge thank you to Sleep Creme for sponsoring this episode.

Today we are headed to Laurelwood, Oregon where we meet a young woman named Margo Compton.  Margo grew up in Solano County, California. She was a bright child who made good grades and had good friends.  Things started to change for Margo. Margo ended up getting married in August of 1969 to Doug  Compton at just 16 years old. At first, all seemed good in their marriage. Things changed when Doug met new friends from the Nomads motorcycle club, an offshoot of the Hell’s Angeles. When Margo got pregnant, the violence began. This led to them both doing drugs and it was rumored that Doug often beat Margo. Doug started hanging out increasingly with the bikers and less at home. In July 1977, Margo testified in a California criminal case against a high-ranking member of the Hell’s Angels. This would be a fatal mistake. Join Cam and Jen on our True Crime Podcast episode entitled ‘Fatal Mistake: Margo Compton Murders.’Listener discretion is by @octoberpodVHSAll music is by our EP @theinkypawprintThis episode is proudly sponsored by Yaman.Welcome to Yaman the very latest and greatest in J-Beauty innovations Listeners can visit YA-MANUSA.com/discount/TCP for a 20% discount.Also proudly sponsored by sleepcreme.com.The World's Original and Finest CBD Topical for SleepOrder your bottle at sleepcreme.com.

On a frigidly cold night in 1976, in a western suburb of Chicago, sixteen-year-old Pamela Maurer was hanging out at her friend’s house in Woodridge, Illinois.  Around 9:45 p.m., Pam decided she needed a pick-me-up and told her friends she was heading out to get a soda. Pam put on her plaid coat and headed out into the frozen night, her breath billowing and catching on the wind. She pulled her coat close and made her way through the snow-covered neighborhood.When Pam did not return to her friend's house that night, none of her friends were all that worried. After all, her curfew was 10:00 p.m., and they assumed she went straight home after buying her soda. But Pam never got her soda. She never made it home, either.  She would be found early the next morning when a county road commissioner came across her body lying frozen in the snow.It would take forty years to find Pamela Maurer's killer. However, the case doesn't end there. In fact, investigators found that it was just getting started. Join Cam and Jen as they discuss "Under The Radar: The Murder of Pamela Maurer."*In this episode, I, Jen, accidentally say Woodbridge Illinois. It's actually Woodridge. My apologies. A huge thank you to Sleep Creme for sponsoring this episode. Order your bottle today at sleepcreme.com.

On the morning of January 7, 2018, at 9:25 a.m., a chilling call was made to the 911 dispatch in Belgrade, Montana. A distressed woman reported that her neighbor had just come to her home in a panic, explaining she had returned to her residence to discover her two roommates had been shot. One roommate, she believed, was gravely injured but still clinging to life. Terrified, the neighbor had fled the scene and sought refuge, desperately asking for help. Law enforcement officers were immediately dispatched, though they had no idea what they were walking into. The initial report indicated that one female was dead and another, a 30-year-old, was wounded and unconscious. Recognizing this may be a difficult scene, the first responding officer requested backup as he approached the scene. Upon arrival, the officer was met by a visibly shaken woman—the roommate who had gone to her neighbor for help, now standing before him, clearly distraught. She was the third resident of the home, the one who had just witnessed the aftermath of what appeared to be a horrifying crime within her own home.

On Saturday, February 20th, 2016, Matt called for an Uber driver around 4:00 in the afternoon in Kalamazoo, Michigan. When the Uber driver arrived at about 4:20 p.m., Matt noticed a dog in the backseat..The Uber driver began driving recklessly, ignoring stop signs and driving into the median. He sped into an oncoming traffic lane, blew through a stop sign, and sideswiped a Ford Taurus. But outwardly, the driver acted like nothing was wrong. Matt was terrified. “Dude, you just hit that car!” he yelled at the driver. But the driver just said, “I didn’t hit anything.” In the back seat, the family dog lunged for the floorboard where she stayed. Matt begged him to stop the car, but the driver wouldn’t. Matt continued to plead with the driver for the next few minutes to let him out. The man said, “Don’t you need a ride to your friend’s house?”  Matt yelled, “Not anymore! Let me out! Let me out!” But still, the driver ignored his pleas. Finally, the driver pulled onto Iroquois Trail and asked, “Which one is your friend’s house?” Matt took that opportunity to jump out of the car and run. A couple was sitting outside having a cigarette break and saw what happened. They immediately called 911. According to the woman, the 911 operator blew her off. By the end of the night, that Uber driver would go on to kill six people and severely injure 2 more. Join Cam and Jen as they discuss "The Kalamazoo Uber Killer: Jason Dalton."A huge thank you to Sleep Creme for sponsoring this episode.

On Sunday, August 23, 1992, Tammy Jo Zywicki, a 21-year-old college student, had just dropped off her 19-year-old brother, Daren, at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The siblings had been traveling from the East Coast, and Tammy was eager to return to college. During their journey, the car, a white 1985 Pontiac T1000, had been experiencing issues, requiring frequent stops to add oil or water. After staying the night, Daren advised Tammy to monitor the vehicle closely on her journey back to college and pull over to a rest area if it acted up, especially given the day's heat. Tammy would never make it back to college.Join Cam and Jen on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled ‘Who Killed Tammy Zywicki?Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic by our E.P. @theinkypawprintThis episode is proudly sponsored by sleepcreme.comUse code “OTC PODCAST” (all one word) at checkout to save twenty bucks on the first order!Sources:https://iowacoldcases.org/case-summaries/tammy-zywickihttps://patch.com/illinois/joliet/people-magazine-investigates-seeks-solve-1992-zywicki-murderhttps://www.fbi.gov/wanted/seeking-info/tammy-j.-zywicki/@@download.pdfhttps://www.live5news.com/2022/08/23/who-killed-tammy-zywicki-sc-grads-death-remains-unsolved-30-years-later/https://patch.com/illinois/across-il/tammy-zywicki-slaying-still-unsolved-30-years-laterhttps://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/local/2024/03/23/killing-of-grinnell-college-student-tammy-jo-zywicki-remains-unsolved-over-30-years-later-cold-case/72879354007/https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/who-killed-tammy-zywicki/https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/national/30-year-cold-case-iowa-college-students-body-found-in-mo/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1hkl8CLmFwhttps://www.foxcarolina.com/2022/08/23/who-killed-tammy-zywicki-sc-grads-death-remains-unsolved-30-years-later/https://patch.com/illinois/across-il/tammy-zywicki-slaying-still-unsolved-30-years-laterhttps://m.facebook.com/notes/who-killed-tammy-zywicki/previously-published-names-of-persons-of-interest-in-the-murder-of-tammy-jo-zywi/10156737632236921/https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2020/05/08/illinois-police-clark-perry-baldwin-not-suspect-1992-slaying/3101500001/https://www.wyff4.com/article/memorial-ride-for-tammy-zywicki/41137145https://people.com/crime/tammy-zywicki-murder-case-people-magazine-investigates/

On the afternoon of September 19th, 1978, Carl Bridgewater, 13, hopped on his bike and started his paper route. In fifteen minutes, he arrived at Yew Tree Farmhouse, owned by Mary Poole, 79, and Fred Jones, 75, who were roommates at the farm. Both were elderly and answering the door often took them a long time. So, Carl was instructed to leave the paper in a basket outside. But if the door was open, he was supposed to take the paper inside and deliver it to them directly. However, Mary and Fred were away on this particular day. They’d gone out on a visit.  Carl noticed the door was open, so he stepped inside the house to deliver the paper, as he was supposed to.Around 5:30 p.m., a friend of the cousins stopped by. The door was open; he walked in and found Carl Bridgewater’s dead body on a settee in the sitting room. Was it a robbery gone wrong?Four men were charged with the murder of Carl Bridgewater after police obtained a false confession. Three of the men would serve eighteen years in prison before having their convictions overturned. The fourth unfortunately died in 1981.So, who killed Carl Bridgewater?Join Jen and Cam as they discuss "First Suspect: The Murder of Carl Bridgewater."A huge thank you to Sleep Creme for sponsoring this episode.

It is May 24, 2000, and we are going to Tuscarawas County in Ohio to New Philadelphia. It is exactly what you think of when you say small-town America, with lots of farmland and friendly people. Elizabeth Reiser who goes by Liz is a 17-year-old high school student who is looking forward to graduating and finding out all that life has to hold for her. Her good friend 18 year old Brandi Hicks asked Liz to come over and stay the night with her. On this day Brandi who was in the school choir was going to the choir banquet and wanted Liz to go with her. Even though it was a school night, her mother relented and said yes. That evening, the two friends visited a video store in New Philadelphia after the choir banquet to rent some videos for a movie night. When they left the store and started to get into the car, a man approached them. The man claimed he had no means of getting home and asked the girls for a ride, telling them he lived nearby.  The girls hesitated and told them they really needed to get home.  The man then offered them $20 as an incentive. The girls did not want to give this stranger a ride, but he urged them to, and they relented. They were young, naive, and always looked for the best in people. After all, he only needed to go across town and then they could go back and watch the movie they had rented. Neither Brandi nor Liz would ever get to watch that movie. Join Cam and Jen on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled “Awash in Forgiveness: The Murder of Liz Reiser.”Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic by our EP @theinkypawprintSpecial thanks to the sponsor of this episode: sleepcreme.com. Order your bottle today at sleepcreme.com.

Thank you to Nick for the episode suggestion.Content warning: Child death2017 was a wondrously magical Christmas season. Heaps of heavy white snow had piled on top of Oak Bay on Vancouver Island, and everybody, except maybe the most die-hard winter haters, was excited at the prospect of building snowmen and sledding.On Christmas Day, Sarah awaited the arrival of her daughters, Chloe and Aubrey. They had been with their father, Andrew, the days before the holiday and were due to be home at noon. The set drop-off time came and went, and there was no sign of Andrew, Chloe, and Aubrey. Calls and texts were unanswered. Sarah drove to Andrew's house, and when Aubrey and Chloe didn’t appear at the window, Sarah grew even more concerned.Join Cam and Jen while they discuss "An Unimaginable Act: The Murders of Chloe and Aubrey Berry."If you would like to contribute to the Chloe and Aubrey Berry Bursary Fund, held at the Victoria Foundation, please go tohttps://victoriafoundation.bc.ca/donate/chloe-aubrey-berry-bursary-fund/Donations will support a scholarship for two girls—one for kindergarten and one for first grade. Thank you to our sponsor, SleepCreme.If you want a good night's rest, go to Sleepcreme.com.  Use code OTCPODCAST at checkout to save twenty bucks on the first order!Thank you to our team:Written and researched by Emily Thompson @morbidology & Lauretta AllenListener Discretion by Edward October from OctoberpodVHSExecutive Producer Nico Vitesse of The Inky Paw PrintSources:https://www.facebook.com/RIPAubreyandChloeBerry/https://www.youtube.com/watchv=TjDOiiuAFmc&ab_channel=Morbidologyhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/908182759/match=1&terms=Aubrey%20Chloe%20Berryhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/930497802/match=1&terms=Aubrey%20Chloe%20Berryhttps://www.timescolonist.com/local-news/victim-impact-statement-what-sarah-cotton-said-in-bc-supreme-court-4677879 (If you can make it through this without crying, you're a stronger person than I am.)https://www.newspapers.com/image/930508496/match=1&terms=Aubrey%20Chloe%20Berryhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/906855476/?match=1&terms=Aubrey%20Chloe%20Berryhttps://www.facebook.com/RIPAubreyandChloeBerry/https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/i-screamed-like-never-before-mother-testifies-at-trial-of-ex-accused-of-killing-two-girls-1.4499102fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1dr7zZi-RyIp3S_ALD6cVYSCmKsjzG7aeR225qYpYiReZtXHn1hM6t_70_aem_XzhU_dOc0g6PSW5s426-nwhttps://www.vicnews.com/news/mother-of-murder-girls-testifies-in-oak-bay-double-murder-trial-58044https://www.saobserver.net/news/mother-of-slain-daughters-supports-recent-changes-to-canadas-divorce-act-3727169https://www.pressreader.com/canada/times-colonist/20190417/281483572776846https://www.cheknews.ca/i-miss-them-every-minute-mother-of-slain-oak-bay-girls-speaks-after-changes-to-divorce-act-749575/https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/notes-written-by-oak-bay-father-accused-ofmurdering-daughters-released-to-media-1.4575766?cache=%3Fot%3DAjaxLayout%3FclipId%3D64268https://www.cheknews.ca/key-piece-of-evidence-in-andrew-berry-murder-trial-read-in-court-564129/
