Hey sassals welcome back to Sword and Scale Daily, your daily pod covering all things

true crime five days a week.

It's Monday July 29th.

I'm Ryan Williams. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Me not so much because some crazed nut job decided to push a car that was on fire into a valley and I live in California

it's dry here and this fire has spread to nearly 400,000 acres.

I'm roughly two miles away from being evacuated.

So yeah, not too great of a weekend.

You know what I mean?

But I'm trying to keep spirits up, trying to be prepared in the event that we need to leave. But yeah, enough about my problems. We got some murder to talk about, so let's dive into it. A Tennessee man is accused of killing his ex-girlfriend after luring her out of her home

under the guise of being sick. In Vermont, a young man is accused of killing, raping,

and burning the remains of his elderly neighbor.

In Nebraska, a young woman is accused of attempting to kill her sister.

And in Kentucky, a man involved in a car crash is accused of shooting and killing the driver of the car that he was in.

All of this coming at you right now here on Sword and Scale Daily.

Ah, she's brilliant. Miss, I finally got plans out the group chat. We get it. Four votes for a festival, three for a city break.

It's hard to adhere to everyone's needs. There's Betty with her oversized tent. Sarah and her six foot eight boyfriend.

All right.

Roger Junior and his dog Roger Senior.

And don't get us started on Mel.

But like a marriage counselor, she's the one keeping things together.

All aboard Miss I finally got plans out the group chat.

Keep everyone's plans alive when you travel with us.
