If the Andreacchios had them "Dancing" then something would be done!! That man talking at the end of the meeting is infuriating!!
this episode was heartbreaking. hearing the pain, anguish & sadness in Juicy's voice, still, 30 years later.
It's fascinating how the concept of culpability is deeply intertwined with our understanding of right and wrong. When we label someone as "culpable," we're essentially assigning them responsibility for their actions, implying that they knew the consequences of their choices. https://globalcatalog.com/printingmart.gb However, things can get quite complex when we consider factors like intention, circumstances, and personal history. Is someone truly culpable if they were raised in an environment that limited their access to information or skewed their moral compass? Can we assign the same level of culpability to someone suffering from a mental illness that impairs their decision-making? https://www.owler.com/company/customisesticker
it seems like a pattern with gift cards. I used to see scammers like that at GameStop that would come in with $1500 and buy a bunch of like $100 Visa cards. also they would go to the gas station and buy whatever gift card is available too so they can stack the money up and then transfer it all to like a debit card, venmo, cash app, etc. usually it was a debit card that they had the money on but didn't want to make a big transaction and broke it up into smaller transactions so they could filter it out.

This is such a weird way to say you were thinking about getting into law enforcement. It sounds like he’s saying he saw a lot of crime and decided to fix it by becoming Batman.
This stuff with the burial is so childish; I’m sure Brittany really would have appreciated that 🙄
Did this man really tell the 911 lady to hold on so he can call someone who does that how dumb are these KILLERS
Will there be more episodes? I was/am OBSESSED WITH THIS!! I pray that Brittany and her family get the justice they deserve.
Why hasn’t anyone address what Whitney said in the background on the 911 call??
This case is so obvious it's ridiculous. Clearly her husband killed her. They were both likely drug users (not at all shaming them or judging them, it's just relevant) and he probably owed someone a debt or was going to rat on someone. Sean is just a standard wife-beating wannabe cop pos. And he got his pig friends to cover up the fact that he abused and murdered his wife. It's literally that simple. One of the cops that backed up his "alibi" even killed his own wife and staged it. Like, are you kidding me? Disgusting.
won't play episode.
jeez, with the disease ads!!!!
Were there bullet holes in the carseat? Maybe I missed these details...
how many fckn times are you going to say that's a comment we'll get back to you it's like it like 40 things we need to get back to now. they're not much of a journalist are you
boy the parents really seem like the vindictive shitty type of individuals that would try to steal their granddaughter away because they don't know where to put their anger. those type of people are dangerous because they're ignorant
man I love people but when I hear them say well I pray to a god that doesn't do anything for me and doesn't do anything for my family but I still believe he knows what's best and it's mysterious I lose all respect for them
which side of the jeep was shot????
who works out for two to three hours every day???
Love listening to your story telling and voice. So excited I found out you had a new season.
