309: The Murder of Rachel Burkheimer

Hey ya'll! Tori was sick for this one so I hope you can put up with just me! -Tyrella In September of 2002, 18-year-old Rachel Burkheimer went to a house party with friends, thinking that she’d have a night of fun.

We could tell you about our show, but in the words of LeVar Burton, "don't take our word for it!" Here is an actual listener's description of the show: "Think Cher Horowitz meets Dolly Parton... create a love child. Then THAT person meets Bill Kurtis.... and two random girls are the product of that.... that's Tyrella and Tori (sisters and hosts). Smart, weird, pretty, blonde, hilarious, southern, and just really okay with being themselves.... even when it is weird. It made me realize [they] became their role models without even meaning to." Give it a try if you like ANY of those people and/or a lighter take on your True Crime!
