She researches cases and compiles details to discuss on the podcast. Before starting this podcast, Melissa had pursued a career in forensic pathology. Today, she is a nurse and mother of four, channeling her passion for investigation into this show. Together, the hosts try to determine how normal people can commit the worst crimes.
