In April 2012, 61-year-old Mark Staudte died on the floor of his home. When the authorities arrived, his wife, Diane, seemed.. .unphased. And the kids were playing video games in the living room. It was... odd. Even odder was when the Staudte son, Sean, ALSO DIED FIVE MONTHS LATER. Shortly thereafter, SEAN'S SISTER SARA WAS ALSO IN THE HOSPITAL DYING OF ORGAN FAILURE.

OK, Fam, do that thing where you stretch your fingers and crack you knuckles BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO WANT TO PUNCH SOMONE. In 2021, Bridget matched with Ricky on Facebook Dating... which was apparently a thing. Ricky was ex-military and had the severe PTSD AND ADORABLE MILITARY DOG, ZEUS, to prove it. He'd been through hell, including watching his best friend, Clarence, literally take bullets and die for him. And Bridget BECAUSE SHE'S A GOOD, KIND, EMPATHETIC PERSON was three thousand percent there for him. The only thing was, his story was a complete lie. And when Bridget notices THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS missing from her bank account, she knows Ricky has scammed her. And then, Ricky takes off. But guess what?

In the spring of 1992, a madman terrorized the Midwest, killing at least six people and using Interstate 70 as both his killing field and escape route. In one of the most FRUSTRATING cases we've ever covered, there were witnesses, composite sketches, and even surveillance video, but somehow the killer has never been caught. But there were bright spots in the investigation, too - LIKE THE SURVIVOR WHO REFUSED SURGERY WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY A 50% SURVIVAL RATE AND NOW, FULLY RECOVERED THANKS TO HER OWN BADASSERY, LIVES WITH A BULLET LODGED IN HER SPINE. Oh, and get THIS, Fam - the cops actually think they know who this piece of shit is... BUT HAVEN'T FREAKING ARRESTED HIM YET. Ugh, it's a lot, but we're gonna get through this together.

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?
