Hey, true crime besties, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly.

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to an all new episode of Serialessly with me, your host, Annie

0:31.1

Elise, the true crime bestie, here to hopefully get you through the week.

0:35.5

I don't know, this week has been kind of dragging in a way.

0:38.2

I feel like the weather is finally turned. It's getting dark super early. I don't know. I'm excited.

0:42.8

It's almost the weekend. But anyway, I have a lot of cases that we need to talk about. Not only

0:48.7

new cases that are like insane and wild, but a couple of updates in some cases that one case we talked about recently,

0:56.3

1:38.3

second-degree kidnapping, and destruction of evidence.

1:41.6

Now, here's where it gets really disgusting and very twisted.

1:45.7

Stacey and his wife, Sarah, were first named as suspects way back in 2022 after police had

1:51.9

received a tip from a roommate that ultimately led the investigators to excavate their backyard
