Hey, true crime besties, welcome back to an all new episode of serialously with me, Annie Elise.

0:30.9

Hope you are ready to start your week with some true crime because today's case is definitely a wild one.

0:37.0

Some of the clips that I will be playing

0:38.7

for you also are unnerving, bizarre, kind of scary, I guess would be a good word to describe it,

0:46.9

but it's one of these cases that it's kind of been going pretty viral recently. I've been seeing it

0:51.7

all over my socials. I'm sure you guys have seen it at one point or another on

0:55.5

yours as well. But the more that I've been diving into it and researching it, I'm just left kind of

1:00.1

being like, I need to talk to somebody about it. I need to share my thoughts about this case and the

1:04.6

1:43.2

with her, Karen was the

1:44.1

kind of person who would regularly check in with you to make sure that you were the one having a

1:48.0

good time. Because truly, she wasn't having fun unless everybody else was. In 2011, Karen had been

1:54.8

married to her husband, David, for 22 years. Their relationship wasn't without its rough spots,
