Hey everyone, before we get the show started, we did want to provide an update.

0:06.6

On last Tuesday, you would notice that our episode did go up and we took it down very fast.

0:14.1

And the reason for that, for those who haven't been following us on our Facebook group or our Facebook homepage is that I messed the story up.

0:24.0

Just to be honest, the children who died were not Melanie's children.

0:29.3

It was her nieces and nephews.

0:31.7

And so out of respect for the family, we decided until we can get the story right, we weren't going to tell the story

0:39.8

at all. Basically, in that story, there were a total of nine children. One couple in the story had five.

0:46.3

One couple in the story had four. And to be honest, we just flip-flopped them. It was an honest

0:51.5

1:55.1

the official start of the new series. We're still in bad blood. So hence the fact we don't have a name for the women who

2:02.3

kill yet. But this one does kind of transition us. Now, just a quick note, we will have one

2:07.8

more bad blood episode after this that will come out next week on Halloween. The schedule this

2:13.5

week is a little sporadic because we had the episode we took down but we still wanted to give

2:17.8

y'all an episode so this one is just kind of like a late episode for some of you so one more bad
