Skip the banter: 00:07:49
A family outing at Devil’s Den ended in unimaginable violence, with two parents killed on a quiet trail while their children ran for help. The manhunt that followed raised troubling questions about who we trust and how systems fail to connect the dots. Allison brings the full context, including one detail that was easy to miss at the time.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome back to another episode with the crime and coffee couple. My name's |
| 0:07.5 | Allison. And my name's Mike. Hi, Mike. Hey, how's it going? You sweet little darling of you, |
| 0:13.6 | you are? I'd say it's pretty good. I'm drinking a very strong ice coffee on a fully empty stomach. |
| 0:19.5 | I don't think we've eaten in about 16 hours. Oh, that's going to be interesting. With your IBS, we might need to take a little break in the middle here. We might have to take a little break ski. Yeah. Yeah, it's a self-diagnosed, by the way. Oh, absolutely. And we are watching, or I was watching a reel about this girl who they live in a van, her and her boyfriend. Down by the river? I don't know that they're down by the river, but they have a situation where there's a bucket installed where they can urinate due number one. But people always ask her, they're like, well, what if you have to go to the bathroom? And she says, well, we can pee in the bucket. And again, it's not like a bucket in the |
| 0:54.4 | center of the room. It's situated to look like a toilet. Well, men, that's no problem. I mean, I'll go anywhere. And in my head, I was like, well, she clearly doesn't have IBS because when you do, you can't be very far away from the ability to take care of business. Well, like, just go on the river. Well, I don't know that they're by a river. I was what you said they were, |
| 1:13.2 | I said I don't know that they're by a river. |
| 1:12.2 | I was what you said they were van. |
| 1:13.3 | I said I don't necessarily know that they're by a river. Every van is not by a river. Why wouldn't they be? I mean, rivers are nice. They might be. We'll just say that they're by the river, but maybe she doesn't want to crap in the river. Makes a lot more sense to me. |
| 1:25.8 | Yeah. |
| 1:26.0 | I was actually watching on an Instagram. |
| 1:27.9 | This is a great topic, by the way. |
| 1:29.3 | Great job, |
| 1:29.8 | Alison. |
| 1:30.8 | That was me, |
| 1:31.5 | but. maybe she doesn't want to crap in the river. Makes a lot more sense to me. I was actually watching an Instagram. |
| 1:27.9 | This is a great topic, by the way. |
| 1:29.3 | Great job, Alison. |
| 1:30.8 | That was me, by the way, bringing this up. |
| 1:32.4 | But it was, they were in a boat. |
| 1:34.8 | A bunch of like teenage boys, basically. |
| 1:37.1 | And the guy's like, oh, I got to go. |
