0:25.0	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
0:27.0	and oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Welcome to Fruit Loops episode episode 13, and thank you so much for listening.
0:56.0	Fruit Loops is a podcast about true crimes committed by people of color and their victims that we do not hear or know much about.
1:04.2	Contrary to popular belief, not all serial killers are white. There are many well
