Overview

Hey y’all! We are a husband and wife team from Louisiana that discuss murder, mystery, and mayhem with a southern twist!
We cover true crime throughout the South, so pull up a rocking chair, grab your mason jar full of sweet tea, and sit for a spell while we chit chat, and laugh some about this crazy world we live in. If you are ok with some banter and a few well placed f-bombs, you are in the right place and we are glad you are here!
Now if banter and cussing are not for you and you just want us to get to the point, check out our weekly release ”A Little Less Mess” where we cover the same stories but with no added chit chat or humor.

Tamara goes on a Carnival cruise to celebrate her 50th birthday with the love of her life, Eric. But the trip takes a tragic turn when she is found unresponsive three decks below her balcony. Was it an accident, suicide, or murder?!?! Fun Fact: Due to cruise ship superstitions, some cruise ships don’t have a deck 13.

It's illegal to carry them in the state since a long time ago, cowboys used to carry them in their pockets and they'd be used to cut through barbed wire fences. Find us on the webs!

In 1974, in the suburbs of Fort Worth, Texas, Carla Walker and her boyfriend were attacked in their car while in the bowling alley parking lot. Carla was dragged from the vehicle while her boyfriend was knocked unconscious. Her body was found just a few days later but it would take over four decades to solve her case using the most advanced DNA techniques (which Stew and I try to explain, very poorly). Fun Fact: Sit on a sidewalk and you may be fined. According to a law in Galveston, a person is not allowed to sit or stand on a city sidewalk or right-of-way in a way that impedes free and uninterrupted pedestrian traffic. Violations are considered a class C misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $500 fine. Find us on the webs!

114. [Texas] Serial Killer: Daniel Lee Corwin

This week we are covering a serial killer out of Huntsville, Texas. Daniel Lee Corwin killed three women in the East Texas area and attempted to kill two others. He was finally caught when one of his victims survived and was determined to find her attacker. Fun Fact: The Texas State Penitentiary at Huntsville opened in 1849, one year after the state legislature created the penitentiary system. As the first state prison in Texas, the Huntsville site soon became known as the "Walls Unit" for the 15-foot brick wall that surrounds the prison yard. Find us on the webs!

113. [South Carolina] Elaine Fogle

In Walterboro, South Carolina, 26 year old Elaine Fogle is brutally murdered in her own home. With very little evidence and no leads, the case quickly turns cold. It would take a new detective and modern science to finally solve the mystery. Fun Fact: In South Carolina, it is illegal to change clothes in a gas station bathroom. This isn't enforced, but is on the books! Find us on the webs! Follow us on Instagram Like us on Facebook Support us on Patreon - for early access and ad-free, join our Patreon!

112. [Texas] Yleen and Lillie Kennedy

We are headed to Texas this week where a double homicide went cold for 30 years until a call from several states away breaks the case wide open. Fun Fact: In some Texas cities, you need a permit to walk barefoot. It is required to purchase a $5 permit before walking around barefoot, in order to avoid the city’s code governing “sanitation and appearance." Find us on the webs!

111. [Georgia] Cyndi Williams and Lori Brown

We are back from our short hiatus and covering a double homicide out of Georgia.  Two women were brutally murdered in the middle of the day at a real estate office.  With an unclear motive, police must piece together why these two young women's lives were cut short and find the monster who did it before he strikes again. Fun Fact:  It is illegal to eat chicken with a fork in Gainesville, Georgia.  In 1961, they enacted a law stating that chicken was a delicacy and must be eaten with your hands.  It was mainly a publicity stunt, but the law is still on the books today!

110. [Texas] Laurie Stout

We are headed to Texas this week where a young mother is brutally murdered while working her overnight cleaning job. All signs point to the husband but without enough evidence they have to let him go. It would take decades to finally bring the killer to justice. Fun Fact: Be careful, you could be married without being present! Texas is a common law marriage state, which means you are considered legally married if the couple makes three public announcements that they’re married. Moreover, a couple can be considered legally married even if the other spouse isn’t present for the ceremony. Find us on the webs!

109. [Louisiana] Kristi O'Pry

We are back from our break and headed to Louisiana where it would take a decade to solve the murder of Kristi and reveal a serial killer in the making. Fun Fact: Even thought Louisiana is known for having Parishes instead of counties, that wasn't always the case. In 1807, the government officially switched from counties to Parishes, based off of local churches. Find us on the webs!

108. [Florida] Norma Page

In 1979, Norma Page was home with her two children when a stranger approached them in the yard. In the end, Norma would be dead and her two children would have to run for help. It would take over 30 years to solve this case with modern forensics, but will the killer be punished? Fun Fact: Next time you're getting your hair done, you may want to think twice about taking a nap. A Florida law makes it illegal for a woman to sleep while under a hair dryer in a hair salon, and allows for a fine for the salon owner. Find us on the webs!
