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

0:31.8

crime bestie, and I am here to break down another case for you. Now, if you've been listening to

0:37.2

me for a while, you know what I

0:39.7

love more than anything. You know I love when these criminals are so freaking stupid that they

2:02.5

happier times with a message like, you know, rest in peace, I love you or something like that.

2:06.9
