True Crime with a Twist

True Crime with a Twist

Welcome to True Crime with a Twist—the podcast where Arkansas speaks for itself. Known as “The Natural State,” Arkansas may seem quiet, but when something happens… it really happens—and nobody ever sees it coming. There’s a long, disturbing history of crimes and murders here that rarely get media attention, often buried and forgotten. That’s where I come in. I’m here to dig up the stories that deserve to be told. The overlooked, the underreported, the cases that were swept aside. Each episode gives a voice to the voiceless men and women of Arkansas—because their stories matter.

I've been MIA since August and I feel like the best way to come back to my podcast is by catching my faithful listeners up to speed. Life is difficult most of the time but for the past few months I could not handle any of it, I have been doing the best I can with what I have which isn't much. I'm doing better now, and I see the sun shining and I get happy about the little things again. I created a Patreon, but don't feel obligated ...

This is going to be a hard one to hear. Today, I will wrap up the The West Memphis Three case.
