We're back! We start this episode off with a quick acknowledgement that.. everything is a lot right now. Next, we do a quick life update and then dive into the bizarre and unsettling case of Erin Patterson, the mushroom murderer.

What begins as a seemingly wholesome lunch spirals into a true crime tale so wild it feels made up, but unfortunately is very real (like the reality we're living in!). Expect dark turns, questionable decisions, and the kind of side commentary that only happens when the world is on fire and you're coping with humor.

MurdHer is celebrating 100,000 downloads! We started this during Covid just to have fun and never imagined anyone would actually listen. To everyone who has stuck with us through our life updates, mispronunciations, and our attempts to keep our sense of humor from getting us into trouble, thank you.

What better way to mark the occasion than with a Halloween special? This week, we explore the chilling and tragic tale of Delphine LaLaurie, the notorious New Orleans socialite whose legacy of horror still echoes through the city’s haunted streets.

But that’s not all. This special episode features a mysterious guest joining us for the first time. Who, or what, could it be? You’ll have to listen to find out.

So light a candle, settle in for some spooky storytelling, and celebrate this huge moment with us. It’s a haunting mix of history, horror, and a few unexpected surprises.

Dani and Gabe are finally back after a little break and while they’ve got some pretty depressing life updates to share (don’t worry, they keep it brief), it’s nothing compared to the wild ride of this week’s story.

We’re diving into the rise and spectacular fall of Elizabeth Holmes, the infamous Theranos founder who went from Silicon Valley’s golden girl to federal inmate. From black turtlenecks and fake test results to billions lost and lives affected, this one’s got everything: ambition, deception, and a voice that got weirdly deep.

Buckle up, this story is as unbelievable as it is unsettling.
