Happy Belated Valentine's Day, twisted listeners! We hope you all enjoyed the 'holiday' and celebrated with someone you love. More than that, we hope you did not celebrate you love like the people from this list. These couples truly believe that those who kill together, stay together, but as these killers get caught, we see just how quickly their love turns sour, and they turn on one another! Cindy does a sub-list within a list by covering two cases inspired by Natural Born Killers, while Diva takes a broader approach with two wild, and unique, cases. So tune in as we all feel collectively better about our relationships as we judge these ones, harshly, and with good reason!
Cases Covered:
1. Sarah Edmondson and Ben Darras
2. The Lonely Hearts Killers

This week, we turn to the vaguely “romantic” (?) topic of husbands who DIDN’T do it! In the world of true crime where husbands very often kill their wives, cases like these are exceedingly rare - but they do happen. Featuring an array of frustrating, long-overdue exonerations, prosecutors hiding evidence, and the radically cool work of the Innocence Project. Get ready to get mad, twisted listeners, and rage along with us against the fucked up justice system that ensnares so many innocent people in its sinister maw. This week especially, we hope that you stay far away from the fucked up circumstances that befell the people on this list.
Cases Covered:
1. Terry and Roxanne Wood
2. Rodney “Patrick” McNeal

Valentine’s Day may be over, but love is still in the air because this week we’re covering the twistedly romantic topic of killer couples! These couples are true matches made in hell who killed together, but didn’t always stay together, as they often turned on one another to save themselves in the end. Featuring a teen couple copying the crime spree in a notorious horror movie, a couple who lured victims through lonely hearts ads, and a married couple that terrorized Sacramento in the golden age of serial killers. We hope all of your relationships are much healthier than these toxic dumpster fires, so that you can stay way, way off our lists!
