Summary

In early January of 1992, Celeste Simone Carrington, from East Palo Alto, California, embarked on a crime spree, murdering people while burglarizing businesses in which she had previously worked as a janitor. (note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little) First, we dive into the setting (11:45), the killer's early life (24:18) and the timeline (28:07). Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (37:28), "Where are they now?" (46:54) followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (47:43). As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered (53:48) and our shout outs (55:38). This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams. Thanks for listening!
