Welcome to Monday Morning Murder in the News with Alyssa Carroll.

Good morning heathens. Happy Murder in the News Monday. So how did everyone fare over the weekend? How did we do?

I am just continuing on with constant little improvements around my house, you know, like in this economy I know.

So I'm trying to do little things that aren't really terribly expensive like painting and just different things.

I do not read these articles ahead of time, which are submitted completely and solely by

listeners. I love you. So I don't read these ahead of time outside of the

reacting to this together, but that also means

that I'm gonna mispronounce things, so just a little bit of grace.

So our very first article is an update to one that we had recently.

This comes from People.com and the title says,

the chicken wings were intended for underprivileged children

receiving free lunches during the pandemic shutdown.

Which that's great.

Those are fantastic intentions.
