This podcast is an unscripted, unedited conversation about true crime.

We take the cases very seriously, but I don't take myself seriously at all, and neither should you.

Welcome to Wife of Crime.

So, Russ, the story I'm telling you today is super mysterious.

This is a case about a young ambitious woman who got her dream job working with top secret information.

A true crime podcast where I tell my husband Russ, true crime, stories, and he reacts to them.

I did.

It reminds me of my boy Chip, and I showed him that at the bar, and he laughed because he probably thought that could have been me.

Yeah, that was a really funny story.

He saw a search party, and I was like, oh, I guess I should help with that.

And they were searching for a while, and eventually, he heard them calling his name.

And he's like, hey, that's me.

And they didn't believe him.
