You’re killing it: First off we would like to thank our significant others, parents, and friends for letting us bring this baby to fruition - crazy stress, and all! We also would like to thank specifically Miranda, Caitlin, Paul, Zach, and our friend we are most indebted to, Tyler. We couldn’t have done this without you! And thank you, listener! We know there are a plethora of other true crime podcasts out there, but by some cosmic phenomenon you chose us. We love that you are here so much, it should be illegal!
