Welcome back to your crime army. I am your host Margot and this is a true crime podcast where I focus on crimes committed by military members and veterans.

But don't worry, you don't have to know anything about the military to listen. I promise.

You just have to be a true crime enthusiast and if that's you, welcome home, baby.

Happy half-birthday to military murder!

Can you believe that the show has been around for six months already? I can't believe it. Time is just flying. It's crazy.

Listener discretion is advised. Now, let's dig in.

My primary sources for today's case include various YouTube videos, including Croker Queen's Library, consisting of the entire televised trial against Julie Shenaker.
