In this episode we travel to Melbourne, Australia where, in March of 1999, 15 year old Rachel Barber disappeared after attending dance school. Despite the police trying to convince her family that Rachel was simply a runaway, the Barber's, their family and friends, along with the community wouldn't give up hope of finding their daughter. After two weeks of searching, Rachel would be discovered murdered, but the suspect in this case was the last person anyone would've expected.
***I just wanted to let everyone know that despite me saying at the beginning of this episode that I wasn't sick, I was in fact struggling with a terrible head cold, so I'm sorry in advance that it sounds like I can't breathe for most of this! Thank you for your understanding!!!! E.***

25- Roy Norris and Lawrence Bittaker- The Toolbox Killers
2 Recommendations****WE DID IT*** We made it all the way to 25 episodes and, a little warning, this one is going to be rough.
The Tool Box Killers were two American Serial killers by the names of Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris. The two men met in prison and concocted a detailed plan of how they were going to kidnap, torture, and murder teenage girls together. OG FBI profiler, John Douglas, once described Bittaker as the most disturbed individual he has ever profiled. The crimes they committed against the young women in this case are so horrifying that I want to take a moment right now to give a warning that this episode might not be for everyone. We will be discussing torture, abuse, rape, and murder. If these topics are triggering for you, please join us next time.
