Summary

We sat down with our good friend and crime family member Deniz Kofteci to discuss why women love true crime! Deniz is a documentary producer and researcher for HBO. She produced a news segment a few years back on the topic. Being a true crime fan herself she was faced with the question we all ask ourselves... Why do we love hearing about murder?? We had a lot of fun hanging out with her through Zoom! We've known Deniz for about 8 years now! So in true WOC fashion we drank, laughed, roasted each other and got off topic! Enjoy!
