HAPPY THANKSGIVING for those in the states that celebrate - for everyone else: HAPPY THURSDAY! Over the next 2 weeks Sarah will dive into an event that is a black stain on America's (recent) history - The Waco Siege (Massacre) In Feb. 1993 the ATF pulled up to the Mt. Carmel compound in Waco, TX to conduct what should be a routine search and arrest warrant. Due to the ATF's actions this routine task turned into a 51-day standoff that resulted in the deaths of 76 men, women, and children at the hands of the US Govt. Part 1 will give you the history of Mt. Carmel, the Branch Davidians, and Mr. David Koresh himself; leading up to the initial raid. Part 2 will be the timeline of the 51 day standoff and the actions and events that lead to so many American citizens losing their lives at the hands of their own government.

Are you ready for Pt. 2 of the Happy Face Killer saga? Have you too been on the edge of your seat since last week? Well, have no fear because Pt. 2 is here! With minimal banter this episode, we jump right into the 2nd and final piece of the (un)Happy Face Killer story. And believe us when we say.....it's going to take a turn that no-one expected. Sarah wraps up with a good ol'fashioned folklore. Picked specifically for Stephanie, this is the tale of "Screaming Jenny". If you're ever in the Harpers Ferry Station in W. Virginia keep an eye out for a ball of light at the end of the tracks. That just might be the ghost of Jenny pleading for help once more.

It's here - the finale of the Waco Siege Saga. That's a mouthful, and so is this episode! Which is why we skip the banter and get right into the story: The last fateful day of the Waco standoff. After 50 days the ATF and FBI are determined to put an end to this standoff; unfortunately it would also lead to the end of 76 lives. There are still many questions about what exactly happened that last day, but the most pressing one is: who started the fire. We have our theories, but what are yours? *reminder...we're [still] not sponsored by Dr. Pepper....yet
