We've all heard the phrase, that kind of thing doesn't happen in our town.

But here on Midwest murder, we will shatter that false reality.

In fact, it happens more often than we know, and sometimes the details of the most horrific

crimes that happen in our neighborhoods are lost in the back pages of newspapers, forgotten

on our news channels, and eventually erased over time.

We're here to talk about murder.

Diving into some of the most controversial cases in Midwest history, this show will not shy away from the morbid details of these horrific events

and the often ugly truths behind them.

What you will hear is a detailed timeline of events,

perspectives from those closely involved, and analysis by experts.

What you will feel is the darkness that surrounds each story,

the innocence lost by the victims,

and hopefully the justice that was ultimately delivered.

Hi.

Hi.

You know, this is the first time I've seen you since the last time I saw you,

which was technically before Christmas. Please do not laugh at that. That's not funny, you guys.

It's real. But it's true. It's real life. It's like, hey, you've lost something.

We hung out a bunch. Then it was Christmas, and now we're here. It's true. And it'll probably be next year when I see you again after this.

So, hang on, like time out for a second. Why are you taking my dad jokes?
