Summary

This Week on True Crime News The Podcast: The scam that nearly ruined Wendy’s and unveiled a lifetime con artist. When Anna Ayala bit into her cup of chili and discovered a human finger, she became an overnight sensation. But her media tour would ultimately be her undoing as the story didn’t hold up to scrutiny. Plus, the millionaire and convicted sexual predator who’s set to walk free. After Andrew Luster was sentenced to more than a century behind bars for drugging and assaulting women, his victims thought they’d seen the last of him. However, Luster’s considerable resources and a legal loophole will have the felon walking the streets later this year. Nancy Moscatiello and Scott Eldridge join host Ana Garcia.
