In this week&apos;s episode, Rae and Charlotte discuss the case of Lauren Smith-Fields. 23 year old Lauren was found dead after a date with an &quot;older white man&quot; who she met on Bumble.  Rae and Charlotte discuss the timeline of events up to the time of recording (January 30. 2022) and the concerns about the department&apos;s handling of the investigation. The investigation really only gained national attention when armchair detectives on TikTok rallied around the case.  SOURCES <a href='https://www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a38903201/lauren-smith-fields-bumble-date-facts/'>Cosmo</a> <a href='https://www.theroot.com/lauren-smith-fields-wasnt-the-only-bridgeport-black-wom-1848442875'>The Root </a><a href='https://www.tmz.com/2022/01/30/rapper-bia-lauren-smith-fields-death-od-family/'>TMZ</a> <a href='https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/27/nyregion/lauren-smith-fields-bumble-date-investigation.html'>The NY Times </a><a href='https://www.insider.com/another-connecticut-black-woman-found-dead-family-demands-answers-police-2022-1'>Insider </a> TW: Listener discretion is advised.
