Summary

This episode is a re-release of two previous Murder Sheet episodes "The Donut Shop Killers" and "The Donut Shop Killers: Behind the Investigation."

The hosts of the Murder Sheet were recently featured on Wondery’s "Families Who Kill: The Donut Shop Murders." As interest around that horrific rampage grows, we’re combining and re-releasing two early episodes on the so-called “Donut Shop Killers.” Stay tuned for further in-depth coverage of this case in the coming weeks. We’ll be talking to a grandson of the McCrary-Taylor clan, as well as psychologist and trauma expert Dr. Glenn Doyle.

Please check out Wondery’s "Families Who Kill: The Donut Shop Murders" wherever you listen to podcasts. And if you enjoy the show, leave a five-star review (and feel free to shout out the Murder Sheet). Next week, we'll be back with more original programming.
