Summary

In 2008, a string of audacious burglaries rocked the Hollywood Hills. The targets? Celebrities like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Orlando Bloom. The culprits? A group of fame-obsessed teenagers who used TMZ and social media to track their victims' every move. Known as "The Bling Ring," these teens weren't just stealing for money—they were stealing for the lifestyle. They wanted to wear the designer clothes, carry the luxury bags, and live like the stars they idolized .This week, we unravel the story of how a group of high school friends, led by Nick Prugo and Rachel Lee, went from petty theft to robbing some of the most famous people on the planet. We'll also dive into the story of Alexis Neiers, a member of the group who was arrested while filming her own E! reality show, Pretty Wild. It's a case so outrageous it could only happen in Hollywood, and one that perfectly captures the dark side of celebrity obsession. #truecrime #truecrimepodcast #momsandmysteries #theblingring #hollywoodheist #alexisneiers #prettywild #parishilton #celebritycrime New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

0:00.0	Hey guys and welcome to Moms and Murder, a true crime podcast featuring myself Mandy and my friend Melissa. Hey, Melissa. Hey, Mandy. How are you? I'm doing well. Yeah? I had to fight the urge to call you something. Your old Melissa. I know. Yes. I think my daughter even calls me that now. Oh. But that, she doesn't even listen to the show.
0:21.1	She just calls me dear old Melissa.
0:22.7	Real rude.
0:23.6	Yeah.
0:25.0	You need to teach that girl some respect.
0:28.4	This is episode 20, which is a big deal to me.
0:33.7	I don't know if it's a big deal to you.
0:35.0	Yeah.
0:35.6	Sure.
0:36.1	No, it's a big deal.
0:37.0	It's very exciting. And we made a big deal to you. Yeah. Sure. No, it's a big deal. It's very exciting.
0:38.4	And we made a bigger deal out of episode 15. We should have probably done that for episode 20, but
0:43.2	here we are. Oh, this is a big deal. I like this episode. This is a big deal. So Melissa likes
0:48.5	this episode, and I do too, because today we are talking about a non-murder case, which a lot of our listeners said that they
0:56.5	wanted to hear another one after we did the Anthony Curcio episode, several episodes back,
1:02.1	and that didn't have murder in it either.
1:04.2	So we, Melissa dug up another good one for you guys.
1:08.3	And I have to say it was very entertaining to research this one. And believe
1:14.6	it or not, watching trash TV was actually part of the research this week. So I had to make her watch
1:19.6	a reality show. What's better than that? Yes. So before we get into that, though, we do have a
1:24.6	huge announcement. So if you're not following us on social media,
