0:00.0	Hi everyone I hope you're doing well so welcome back to episode number two of the
0:15.4	criminal makeup podcast each episode we dive into the minds of some of the worst
0:20.6	criminals in history and today we are going to be talking about the
0:24.5	wannabe youtuber who became a killer Samantha Wolford. So I first covered this
0:29.8	story on my YouTube channel around a year ago now which seems absolutely crazy because it
0:34.8	feels like only yesterday and it quickly became one of my most viewed videos on my

2:03.2	One of the things that fascinates me so much and one of the reasons why I do look into all of these
2:08.4	cases is because I want to get inside the minds of these criminals.
