Executioner’s Song



Welcome back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast.

Just a quick reminder that new episodes are out on the 15th and 30th 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.

Rabbit Hole Two: More Movies



Welcome Back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast.  We have two new true crime cases today that movies were made about, continuing with our Based on a True Story theme. Each episode stands on it’s own, so you don’t have to be caught up on episodes in the series or anything like that.  Each episode will have movies that were based on a true story, and we will go over the movie and the real story behind it.  This is Rabbit Hole 2. The two movies today are:  Out of The Darkness and Hunt For The I-5 Killer.
