This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Is it a sin?

Is it a crime?

Loving you, dear, like I do.

If it's a crime, then I'm guilty.

Guilty of loving you.

Hello and welcome to Criminal Broads, a podcast about wild women on the wrong side of the law.

I'm Tori Telfer, your host, author of two books called Lady Killers and Confident Women.

And before we get into today's story, which I have branded

already on Instagram as a spooky vintage one, I have a couple of news items for you, newsy-ish

things. Thank you so much for listening to last week's episode, the story of Sister Eli and the

dark side of plea deals. If you listened all the way to the end,

you might have heard me bragging about a certain tote bag I have from the Women's Prison Association

and smugly saying that I didn't think there were any left. But the jokes on me, folks, there are still

some tote bags left, and they're being held for criminal

broads listeners. So if you got all fired up by the episode and want to help, if you become a

recurring donor to the Women's Prison Association, and that can be $5 a month, you know,

it doesn't have to be a lot of money, although if you give a lot of money, that's amazing. If you do that and you put criminal broads in your donation somewhere, like in the box where it asks you if you want to leave any notes, you will get a free tote bag. So do it. I'll put the link in the show notes. I'm going to put another link in the show notes that I'm about to tell you about, but I've also had some people ask me what the show notes are.

So the show notes, if you are listening to this podcast, whatever app you're using, click on the episode you want to listen to and then try to see the episode description, which is where there'll be a little paragraph from me saying like, the woman was never found, but blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, there'll be a paragraph summarizing what the case that we're talking about is about. That's the show notes. Scroll down, you'll see a link to my Patreon, you'll see a link to Instagram, you'll see links to sources, and you'll see links to anything else I talk about. Does that make sense?

Message me on Instagram if you still can't find them. Okay, second thing I wanted to tell you about.

Let's talk about John Wayne Gacy for just one second. I know. He does not belong on this podcast.
