Episode 99: The Lululemon Murder- Bethesda, MD

This week, as we approach the 100th episode, we've decided to change things up a little and not do cases that were in the Heartland, but ones that interested us. 
This week, Shannon takes us to Maryland and covers the attack of two Lululemon employees, Jayna Murray and Brittany Norwood, which resulted in the death of Jayna.

Episode 96: The Bullying Epidemic-Owasso, OK

This week, Casie changes it up a little bit, talking about the issue of bullying among teens today and two ongoing cases that were the results of bullying. The first being the case of Nex Benedict, a trans teen from OK, who tragically lost their life. The second about Kaylee Gains from St. Louis MO who was put into the ICU after a fight caused by bullying. The question is, was Kaylee the bully or the bullied?
