In this week's true crime news episode we open with a discussion (as always) on what we've read, listened to and/or watched this week:

- "The Divorce" by: Frida McFadden

- "Death of the Pastor's Wife" documentary on Netflix- "Sociopath: A Memoir" by: Patric Gagne

Cassidy then leads the discussion of this week's most jarring and tragic True Crime News headlines, including:

- Laura Owens pleads guilty to 'Bachelor' pregnancy fraud

- Hayden Panettiere 'suicide' comes under scrutiny as new evidence arises

- Patrick and Lindsey (NOT Clancy) case--this one a homicide staged as a suicide. The husband did it.

- Lindsay Clancy Verdict Watch! The jury has yet to come to a unanimous verdict after 3 days (17 hrs) of deliberation.

In Part 2/2 of our series on The Charles Manson "family" cult murders, we detail the “LaBianca murders”, explain how the Manson Cult evaded capture by hiding out in the dunes of Death Valley, recount the trial of the century during which Charles Manson flying squirrel style LEAPS from his witness box to attack the judge, and finally share the personality tests and psychiatric analyses of one of America’s more infamous cult leaders.

On this week's True Crime News episode we talk about the possible discovery of Tupac Shakur's killer from a case that has been cold for 30 years, as well as discussing the testimonies of forensic psychiatrists during this week of Lindsay Clancy's ongoing murder trial.
