Summary

A series of attacks and murders ends with strange calls to 911. These calls weren't from the victims or the onlookers, but rather the killer himself. While he was so emotional on these calls he earned the name "the weepy voiced killer", it didn't seem to deter him from continuing his violent streak. That is, until he found someone that would cause his downfall.

Okay, everyone, it's Jen.

0:25.6

And this is Lindsay.

0:27.2

And welcome back to Corpus Delicti.

0:28.9

We are brand new with the new series.

0:31.8

Yes, and we don't have a name yet.

0:34.7

So we're not saying it right now, but by the time the episode comes out, obviously you

0:39.5

will see it in the episode title.

0:41.9

So bear with us.

0:42.5

We're still kind of going back and forth on that, trying to figure out something.

0:47.2

We don't have the official term yet.

0:49.8

But this is a brand new series, like Jen said. It's all about survivors, people who survived,

0:56.3

1:39.5

So just know that that is coming.

1:41.9

Also, you're going to hear something we don't normally do. We are

1:45.4

going to play the 911 calls from this case. And the reason we are doing that is because these
