"He's like the Joker... from Wish" - Wade Wilson

On this week's episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ about a killer in Florida who has committed some absolutely despicable crimes. Sadly however, despite these crimes there is a whole fan base of women who not only support him but also lust after him.

What THEY do in the shadows - Vampires

On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm sticking with the Halloween theme and we are falling down the rabbit hole about Vampires! Folklore and legends are so fun to explore especially during this spooky time BUT what happens when folklore is taken way too seriously? I have 3 cases that get progressively worse, showing how beliefs in Vampires and the legends surrounding them can lead to evil rumors, weird rituals and even murder! Moral of the story...

The Ring- Teresita Basa

On this episode of Wife of Crime I think I FINALLY have a case that may prove to Russ that ghosts are real!! Teresita Basa was a fun loving, ambitious Filipino lady living in Chicago. She was living her best life in America when one day someone betrayed and murdered her! The case would take a wild turn 6 months later when a couple claimed to know who killed Teresita, they said they knew this information because her spirit told them who did it!

On this episode of WOC I'm telling Russ about the first female Mob Boss in Italian mafia history! Maria Licciardi was born into a mob family as the daughter of the boss of Licciardi Clan. After multiple deaths and arrests in her clan she would take over the reigns and prove to be more strategic, intelligent and heartless than her male counterparts.

Operation Finale - Adolf Eichmann

On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ the inspiring story of the special agents tasked with taking down one of the most evil men who ever lived, Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust. Everyone can agree that there isn't anything much worse than a Nazi. The Nazi's did unspeakable things and at the end of WW2 around 5000 of them fled Germany and got away with it. BUT I'm interested in the heros of this horrific story... the men and women who made it their life's mission after the Holocaust to hunt these people down. This is just one of their stories.Moral of this story...“Action is the only remedy to indifference: the most insidious danger of all"SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by Better HelpBetterhelp.com/wifeofcrime1Viia HempViiahemp.com/wifeofcrime1 Learn more about your ad choices.

"I'll just lie..." - The Murder of Stephanie Crowe

On this episode of WOC I'm telling Russ the type of case I've been avoiding for a long time. See, I know how Russ thinks and I know when it comes to false confessions he is extremely close minded and quick to judge. I went into this conversation knowing that his opinion will probably annoy me but also hopeful that he might actually learn something, and to my surprise I think he actually, kind of did :) Moral of this story... "if cops try to question you for a crime you didn't commit tell them SMD I need a lawyer!" - Russ and the entire BronxSponsors:This episode is brought to you by Better HelpBetterhelp.com/wifeofcrime1Research for this case by Marci Smith Learn more about your ad choices.
