Stephanie had a wonderful idea: We would each pick a crime/criminal who committed an act that was less-than-super-intelligent, aimed to shock and entertain each other, as these are blind case reveals! Discussing incidents from the 800's and the 2000's, we hope you will enjoy these crimes that left us stunned and astounded. Trigger Warning: mature language, as always, battery, assault, desecration of a corpse, graphic descriptions. However, if you're looking for one of our more tame episodes, this is it.

TW: This is a true crime podcast and as such discusses horrible crimes in detail to include child abuse, child murders, sexual assault and murder. In July 1987, Arthur Shawcross and his girlfriend, Rose, were secretly integrated into Rochester, NY's community so as to not alarm anyone that there was a child killer from Watertown, NY in their midst. Obviously everything went fine and there were no more dead bodies connected to Arthur J. Shawcross. JUST KIDDING - what followed was a horrible bloodbath that got worst with time, as police are blocked from seeing any of Shawcross' criminal past, and they inadvertantly share critical information with the serial killer. This is the conclusion and the end of the life and crimes of Arthur Shawcross, the Genesee River Killer.
