Hello Strangers! In this week's episode, we dissect the mysterious death of a young, beautiful, and fun-loving black woman named Lauren Smith Fields. Next, Katie fuels our nightmares with the folklore creatures of the Philippines called Aswangs (yikes).
#JusticeForLaurenSmithFields
We hope to continue to bring light to cases of our fellow Americans who's stories are not told as often and who are ironically most at risk for "true crime"-- that would be black women, indian-american women, and native alaskan women.
