Nowadays it seems like crime stories seem more popular than ever. But why are we obsessed with them? This week the IFTT ladies breakdown some facts and information on why specifically women are so intrigued by true crime. We also want to bring awareness of the importance of highlighting victims of these horrible cases versus glorifying the storyline.

Content Warnings: General discussions of violence, murder, and rape. Please listen with caution.
