"The Eastburn Family Murders" reveals a tragic tale that shocked its community. Gary and Kathryn had three daughters, the youngest of whom was born in 1983. Training as an air traffic controller took Gary 500 miles away from his family on the night of the murders. Their neighbors realized something wasn't quite right at the Eastburn home. They could hear the family's baby crying from within the house, but no one answered the door. There also weren't any signs of forced entry. When officers entered the house, the scent of death was immediate. This podcast episode is not for the faint-hearted, as it details the murders of Kathryn and two of her daughters.

"The McMartin Preschool Trials" reveals one of the most expensive investigations in America. When one parent filed a complaint of abuse within a preschool, hundreds followed. Despite extensive investigation, why were there no convictions? Was it a case of mass hysteria? Michelle explores the story in detail. Another episode of The Crime Shack Podcast chronicles the Murdaugh murders. It involves a deadly neighborhood feud with William "Billy" Woodward. There's also the murder and abduction of eight-year-old Cherish Perrywinkle.

The Crime Shack Podcast reveals a different crime one episode at a time, each as unbelievable as the next.
