Wed, 29 Nov 2023 14:47:02 GMT

After coming back from a holiday break, the gang welcomes the Christmas season by recapping NCIS: LA Christmas episode Season 9 Episode 11 "All is Bright". Then we head back to New York City for our true crime that shares similarities with this episode. In 1977 New York City was not the glamorous city we may think it was. New York City was a desperate and dangerous place, but all the feelings of turmoil came to ahead when the whole city lost electricity. What followed is what some may describe as the Purge come to life.

We are back after a one week break due to sickness and travel. At least some of us are back..... Kenzi has guest host Brady on to cover NCIS Season 4 Episode 7 "Sandblast". After the recap, they discuss the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, which you might think you know? But did you know it started with the murder of a Rabbi in 1990? Or that the Joint-Terrorism Task Force had a man on the inside? And they knew about the bomb before it was detonated? Give the episode a listen to hear a piece of American history that is often overlooked.

Law & Order SVU "Snitch" Part 1

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 06:00:37 GMT

We are headed back to our roots this week! We watched and recapped Law & Order SVU Season 9 Episode 10 "Snitch". Then Kenzi tells the story of the real true crime case this episode was based on. When police in Arizona found the remains of Joy Risker, they were unaware that over in San Diego police were already investigating Joy's disappearance. They and Joy's friends and family even had one man they suspected... her husband Sean Goff. This wasn't an average marriage though, Joy was Sean's second wife, like as in currently "married" to two wives, as in a polygamous relationship.

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 11:03:19 GMT

The gang get together to cover a one-season-only, spinoff of Law & Order, Law & Order: LA Sesason 1 Episode 4 "Sylmar"! Folks, this spinoff might be better than SVU..... just saying..... Anyways, after the recap, we get into the true story it was based off of. Colleen LaRose became curious about the Islamic faith after a one night stand, but as she spent more and more time online learning about the religion she became more and more entangled with an online extremist cell. This all amounted to Colleen receiving one instruction: Kill him. Listen to hear about the infamous Jihad Jane Case.

NCIS: New Orleans "In Plain Sight"

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 06:00:50 GMT

We are headed back to the bayou in this week's episode! We watched and recapped NCIS: New Orleans Season 5 Episode 18 "In Plain Sight" before diving in to a true crime story that surprisingly shared more similarities with the TV episode than you would expect. From a young age, all Virginia Hall wanted was to be an agent in the US Foreign Service, but when serving as a clerk at the US Consulate in Turkey she lost her leg in a hunting accident and her dream came crashing down. However, little did anyone know, this woman with a wooden leg would become the most badass spy in the thick of Nazi-invaded France in World War II!

This week we learned all about the Navy! Per the usual, we start by recapping NCIS Season 12 Episode 13 "We Build, We Fight". Then we jump into a true crime case that shares some similarities with the episode. While docked in Sasebo, Japan, Radioman Allen R. Schindler Jr. was just trying to enjoy one last night out before the U.S.S. Belleau Wood took off for the Philippines the next day. That was until he was brutally murdered on his way back to the ship. The reason? Depends on who you ask. Allen's friends and family say it was because he was gay and it was an act of homophobia. The Navy says it was just a drunken fight. Listen to see who is telling the truth.

Law & Order SVU "Blast"

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 06:00:58 GMT

This week the gang went back to their roots with Law & Order SVU Season 7 Episode 13 "Blast". They recap the episode and then like always discuss the real true crime case it was based on. The real case takes place in Las Angeles in the 1920s, which seemed fun, but for the Parker family turned dark real quick. When their daughter Marion Parker didn't return home after school they were worried, but they started to panic when the ransom notes started rolling in. As did the rest of the nation.
