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.
