The gals are back to true crime and somehow ended up with a case similar to ones they've just covered. This week, Alex breaks down the tragic Canadian case of the Kosberg family murders. What set one of the family members off to the point of doing the unthinkable? What does this case have to do with milkshakes? Tune in and find out. Trigger warning for this episode due to discussions of mental health, family violence and more - please proceed with caution. Need a distraction? We got you.
