10-minute murder contains depictions of actual crimes. What you are about to hear is real and violent in nature. Discretion is advised. This is 10-minute murder, the brief and vengeable true crime podcast.

I'm Joe the host, and thank you for being here.

If you're new to this show, let me invite you to click the subscribe button so that in the future you won't miss any episodes.

And by the way, it doesn't say

subscribe on all the podcast listening apps. Benjamin messaged me the other day, trying to make sure

I feel like I'm a Pokemon now.

She worked in the garden center at a Plainfield, Illinois Home Depot.
