We apologize for any inconsistencies in audio, Jaymie did her best to fix it in post production! :)

Episode 25: If You’re Listening To This, You’re Welcome

This week's episode barely happened, hence the title you guys. Jessica covers the cold case of three women that has an even more disappointing conclusion than normal. Jaymie was a bit tipsy and talked about an audible book she just listened to called "My Lost Family". It's a doozy, so you may want to pour yourself a drink too. Unless you're driving, don't do that.
