10-minute murder contains depictions of actual crimes. What you are about to hear is real and violent in nature. Discretion is advised.

This is 10-minute murder.

Welcome. Welcome to 10-minute murder, the brief and bingeable true crime podcast.

Thanks for joining today.

I'm Joe, the host.

Before we get started, let me take a moment to thank all of you that have been listening

and sharing the podcast.

It means a lot to me.

The reviews on Apple Podcasts are sporadic, but there's a bunch of you that listen in different places.

For instance, most of you listen on Pandora, according to the feedback that I get.

Harper, Jane, stop it.

Sorry, Harper is not sleeping today during the podcast.

She's chewing on her feet.

Anyway, like I was saying, the latest review on Apple podcast comes from Tina Bobina.

She says, love, love, love this podcast.

Best use of time and Joe's wit makes the show.

By the way, Joe, I love looking at Christmas lights too. And I need you to know I personally fact-checked Tina Bobina's review,

and it fully checks out. It's all true. And my wit is what my mom used to call my smart mouth,

and it got me in trouble quite a bit, so I'm glad it's appreciated now.

But the point of me reading that is she mentions the podcast being the best use of time.

And that is the whole reason I try to keep these stories to 10 minutes.

If you're like me, you love true crime, but your attention span only extends so far.
