Hi listeners if you're a fan of shocking true crime podcast I have your next obsession for you

it's called Families who Kill the Donut Shop Murders. It's a story about the

McCreary's a family who terrorized small town America, committing murders,

robberies, abductions, and general mayhem everywhere they went.

Led by the criminal duo of Sherman and his son-in-law Carl, this disturbed family targeted people working in donut shops.

On families who kill the donut shop murders, you'll hear the details of their crime spree

for the first time from one of the McCrearies and the detective who tracked them across the country as they left death and destruction in their wake.
