And Greetings friend, and welcome to a Chilling Mother's Day Collaboration

Podcast. I'm your guide Shane Waters from the foul play crime series podcast and together

we'll be delving into the shadows of motherhood on this eerie adventure.

13 skilled podcasters will join us as we explore the darker side of true crime stories, each with an unsettling connection to

It's a sobering reminder that the complexity of human relationships and the depths of the human

As we make our way through the tangled underbrush, we encounter our first podcaster friend,

Wendy, who joins me on Fow-Play Crime Series to share a harrowing tale of

Motherhood gone awry. It was a beautiful March day on the West Coast of America. A German tourist was enjoying the magnificent views as he drove down Highway 1.

He took regular stops to breathe in the fresh sea air
