Episode 9: Leopold and Loeb

09/27/22 • 78 min

Hello friends! Apologies for the late posting of this week's episode. Join me as I share with Emily the tragic murder of Bobby Franks by Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. These two fools think they have planned the "perfect crime" when they decide to kidnap and murder Bobby Franks. One minor slip up will be their downfall...not so perfect after all.

Several shout outs in this episode!!

Check out Nocturnal Distractions and their trailer at the beginning of the episode. You can find them HERE.

I mention Sips of Crime and Evil Pudding in the episode. Go check them out if you need more true crime in your life.

This week's mocktail is my take on a drink I found over at Spirited Spirits podcast called The Axe Murderer. So far I love their content and cases, so please check them out. You can find the original drink on their IG page HERE. I will post the recipe I come up with later in the week on our IG and FB pages!
