Welcome back to Mama Mystery. I am your host Kelly. And today's episode is going to be a weekly

0:14.1

docket episode where I recap the top headlines in True Crime for the week. If you're watching on

YouTube, I did wash this sweatshirt before I recorded today because I know I wore it in my last video, but listen, it is my favorite sweatshirt. You can get it on TikTok shop. Let me know if you want the link. But anyway, we've got a lot to cover a lot. It was almost hard to narrow down the stories.

At first, it looked like a robbery gone wrong.

1:49.3

There was cash missing from the register, but the level of violence and the way that the girls
