Just a quick reminder that new episodes are out on the 15^th and 30^th of each month, with occasional bonus episodes, so be sure to hit subscribe so you don’t miss one.

This continues our series of Based on a True Story movies and the true crime cases behind them. Let me tell you that doing the research for these movies for my podcast has become a little Rabbit Hole of it’s own. While I was researching for this episode I found another movie, on this case, that I had never heard of. Turned out to be really good and well worth the time, and worth featuring. I have found many other movies while researching the cases, so I have a long list to cover….and to use as bonus movie names for you.
