Episode 47, The Covina Christmas Massacre

Hello, my little Gremlins! Welcome to a super happy, cheerful, and festive Christmas episode!! *HEAVY SARCASM ALERT* 

Last year I had so much fun doing the Krampus episode, but this year I am here to bring you the most brutal, tragic, and horrific Christmas true crime case that I could think of. Because I love you. 

Turns out, a lot of podcasts have done this case, but listen. They didn’t do it like I’m gonna do it, so don’t even bother. I will give you every single detail, stitched together from interviews with police, investigators, the coroner's office, survivors, neighbors, and the list goes on. 

Join me today as we discuss the brutal massacre of an entire beloved family, on Christmas Eve.
