Crime Crazy Podcast

Did you know there have been studies done to determine the most common names of criminals? Let's just say that, in certain states, avoiding "Howards" is a good idea! In this episode, we continue threads that are both ridiculous and tragic. From a completely absent motive to a small and familiar town, we talk murder and craziness.

Two things you should know about Diana: every time she sees an abandoned garbage bag on the side of the road, she thinks there could be body parts in them (It’s her mom’s fault) AND This week was her birthday! So, a garbage bag containing a body (ish) stars in Eryn’s story, while Diana continues her thread with a geographic theme as we move to Aberdeen, Scotland for a very misleading murder.

  Whether you're Diana, continuing stories of rich women who do criminal craziness, or Eryn, continuing in the vein of serial killers and bad courtroom behavior, one thing you're going to need is motive!   Also this week, prisons, chicken shit, Levi Strauss, IPO, bad movies, insane stories, bad namers, and far, far too many daughters!   Show Resources:   Michael Madison   Courtroom attack   Customers Also Watched   The Story Must Be Told  

  Pigs are a viable body disposal method. Kind of. If you don't then save some pieces.     Anyway, this woman definitely isn't nice.   And speaking of women, how about adventure-loving, lion-hunting, rich, Parisian swingers who sometimes shoot loved ones in the gut? Yeah, we have some mixed-feelings about this one!   Resources:   Silk and More Silk   Everything is Awful Forever   Susan Monica 1   Susan Monica 2  

Have you ever given thought to what you'd do with the body of a person you killed if you didn't want to be discovered? Eryn and Diana may have given this some thought... Remember Marjorie? Her history with the legal system is not quite done yet! From murder to fraud to fire, Marjorie's crime had a long way to go after her mother's death.

Diana is back and picking up her thread where she left off by telling and infuriating story about a couple who just couldn't manage their money. Then, from texting crimes to dating apps, Eryn carries her thread into the realm of stupid criminals who make bad choices. Plus we hear about an awesome podcast (and wave at our podfriends!) and some really incredible facts from the animal kingdom!

**Warning: this episode deals with suicide** This week's guest is Erica from Customers Also Watched. We learn a little about death in Norway, and death by carbon-monoxide poisoning. Then we dive headfirst into the world of Black Metal - specifically some extreme, and bloody incidents that happened in Norway. "Dead is Dead, but Mayhem carries on."

Marie Kent from My Book of Mormon returns this week with another crime from Mormon history, and this one contains a heavy dose of comeuppance!  Eryn's thread is False Confessions as she explores the tragedy of a young man who admitted to something he never did.    

This season, we're tying all our stories together with a string, and this week, Eryn's string is cult murder!  But, more exciting still, we have a a VERY special guest, Marie Kent from My Book of Mormon! And, of course, she brought an amazing Mormon-related crime to tell.

You probably noticed no episode came out this week. The reason why is absolutely gutting, but we thought you should know.  Diana and her family are going through a truly horrible and hard time. I know all of our thoughts and love are with them.  A great way to show support for Diana and her boys is by donating to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.    Crime Crazy will be back next week with a special guest. In the meantime, #callyourpeople  

#ClassicQuinky We've turned this season into a season-long challenge! For Season 4, we're connecting our stories. Each story will contain an aspect of the previous true crime tale.  And Diana, the over-achiever, started early. Going ALL the way back to her first appearance on Crime Crazy (Season 2, Episode 10!), she grabbed the thread of local crimes and found a crazy murder-for-hire tale about a man with a terrible name! Then, to wrap up 2018, Eryn tells about one of the craziest crimes that concluded in 2018.  #CallYourPeople #CrimeCrazyPodcast Resources Eryn's Story: Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 Article 4 That Sounds Serious Affirmative Murder
