Crooked Crafts
05/26/22 • 61 min
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses kidnapping, sex trafficing, rape, and murder
Episode 2, Woohoo, we are excited you are here! As Morgan gets into “Las Poquianchis” we will be drinking Mezcal Bloody Maria’s and trust us there is no shortage of Marias in this case. We decided to use up the rest of the delicious bloody mix but switched it up with Morgan’s favorite spirit- mezcal! The spirit and case share the same origin as we head south of the border to Mexico. Join us as we discuss the most prolific murder partnership according to the Guinness book of world records, the sisters Gonzalez Valenzuela and a reign of terror that had thousands of victims and lasted from the mid 1940’s- early 1960’s.

Ep.4 - The Hollowed Nickel
Crooked Crafts
06/10/22 • 56 min
This weeks case is a bit different & lighter than our regularly scheduled content. It is one of the United State's most fascinating and significant espionage cases. Get ready for a wild ride that you will never believe is real life. It's the things of movies: the events that fell into place over the course of years, allowing the mystery of the hollow nickel, that surfaced in Brooklyn in June 1953, to finally be solved.
This weeks cocktail is The Vesper - invented by none other than Bond author, Ian Fleming.

Ep.3 - Angela Hammond
Crooked Crafts
06/01/22 • 57 min
In our 3rd episode, Charna dives into the unsolved mystery: the disappearance of Angela Hammond. While we cover this unbelievable story, set in Clinton Missouri, it felt only fitting to sip on a Missouri Mule. A tart drink, that interestingly doesn’t have any ginger beer like a classic mule would. Just like our case, this drink is surprising and leaves a lasting impression.
So, pull up a chair, pour yourself a Missouri Mule, and let’s talk some true crime.
