This week Beth and Wendy tell the story of Dale Devon Scheanette, a black man who became known as the "Bathtub Killer" after two women at the same apartment complex in Arlington, TX in 1996 were found dead in half-filled bathtubs.

We dive into the stats (7:42), the setting (9:31), the killers early life (15:38) and the timeline (18:20). Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (35:20) followed by "Where are they now?" (39:52). We get into our Take Aways (44:30) and some tips on how not to get murdered (45:58). Lastly some shout outs (51:50).
