OK, look, we love the bayou. Like, we LOVE IT. The accents, the trees, THE FREAKING GOTHIC VIBES. But what we don't love is the murder. Especially this one. On August 23, 1987, a young mother named Selonia Reed was found murdered in her car about a mile from her home. The clues were few, but there was one that was significant. A cigarette butt. In the pre-DNA 1980s, there wasn't much they could do with it. But, shockingly, it was well preserved. And though it would take THIRTY FIVE YEARS to get it done, that cigarette butt would eventually lead investigators to Selonia's killer. That's...too long. But here we are. And now let's spend some time with Selonia's friends and family--including her impeccably dressed sister--to hear about how amazing she was. Find and watch "Murder in the Bayou" on HuluLOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

On January 2014, 46-year-old Jerry Moore was stabbed to death in his home in Marietta, Georgia. When no suspect emerges, Jerry's best friend Randy - WHO HE MET AT A GAY LINE DANCING BAR - presents the cops with a critical piece of information that eventually solves the case. It involves a loser shitbag roommate, a gay bakery, and a CAKE DECORATING ROOM. Jerry's murder was senseless and brutal, but the people he surrounded himself were incredible, and they're all here to tell his story. And so we beg you, please please please get yourself a gay bestie like Randy. Ugh, get ready to get mad, Fam. Find and watch "Killer Relationship: Risky Business" on Peacock TVLOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

In June 2016, Michelle Hadley was served a restraining order. She was barred from ever again speaking to her ex-boyfriend Ian and his new girlfriend Angela. According to the restraining order, Michelle had been stalking Angela and Ian for months - she'd been making horrible threats against the couple and their soon-to-be-born twins. Michelle was crazy insane. Or was she?

Jean Steven was very close to her sister and her husband.  Perhaps a bit... too close.  We've got a bit of an odd story today, Fam - straight out of a Hitchcock movie.  Why did Jean keep the embalmed bodies of her husband and sister IN HER HOME, and how did she get the seemingly all-too-willing characters around town to help her?  Thankfully, the ever-trusty Beth Karas is here to help us sort through the shenanigans. Find and watch "The Curious Case of...

In July 2003, 34-year-old Shawn Johnson was in New Orleans for a conference. And he did WHAT ANY OF US WOULD DO and tacked on a few days for a little bit of fun. On his last night in town, he found himself at an infamous bar called The Dungeon where he met a group of people who he invited back to his hotel room to fill the hot tub with Champagne and continue the party. Again, like any of us would do. However, Shawn would, tragically, be found dead in the room the following morning. On the walls of the room were ripped up and torn out pages from the bible. And on the bed, the creepiest homemade doll - WITH REAL HUMAN HAIR - that was ever created. The search for Shawn's killers was a mess. But in the end, some sort of justice prevailed. But oh my god, can everyone take it down a notch? Find and watch "Blood on Bourbon Street" on HuluLOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

Fam, when they say "Worst Ex Ever" they really aren't kidding here - and giving him the "Deadpool" moniker just because he's got the same name as the comic book character?
