In this episode, we take a deep dive into the tragic murder of Sydney Loofe, the 24-year-old Nebraska woman whose disappearance in November 2017 quickly became one of the most disturbing cases in recent memory. What began with a Tinder date ended in a horrifying crime that captivated the nation and ultimately led investigators to Aubrey Trail and Bailey Boswell.

We’re also joined by author Chet Hardin, who wrote a book about the case based on his interviews with perps, Aubrey Trail and Bailey Boswell. Chet offers a unique perspective on the case and discusses his conversations with the two people at the center of it, giving us an opportunity to examine their accounts, the investigation, and the events surrounding Sydney’s death from a perspective rarely available to the public. And, we had a lot of fun as well. I think we found a new and improved way to have authors on the show.
