Grotesque Tea, is a dark podcast that covers true crime, as well as the creepy, macabre, and supernatural. As such, may not be suitable for all audiences. Listeners discrimination, is advised. 

Today we are going to Wisconsin to find out about David Spanbauer and his atrocities dating back longer than it should have. I do caution that some of his victims were children.
