    Kimberly Cargill was evil personified. She abused her children for years, circumventing the system to keep them in her clutches. Finally, the state caught on and what she did to keep from trouble was worse than the abuse itself.

    In the tiny, rural village of Emerson, Nebraska, where only about 800 people live nestled in the northern, rolling hills, a series of inexplicable events begins to unfold. What seems like an ordinary morning turns into a nightmare as a young mother stumbles upon clues that hint at foul play on her boyfriend’s property. As the clues quickly mount, the truth reveals itself to be far worse than anyone could have imagined.

LONG LIVE KIM. AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND. People always say they'll kill for their kids but they never back it up. This woman is a mother that anyone should be happy to have.

See, Mike? Women get screwed over too.

I’m a longtime fan of Sword & Scale, and have never really gotten into any of the spinoffs they created, such as Sword and Scale Rewind or Monstruo. It appears that they’ve finally found one that’ll stick around. The story telling is compelling as always, but without the burden of presenting every single fact of the case. I can’t wait for the next episode!

Excellent Storytelling

Mike hooked me in the first episode of sword and scale I listened to. This spinoff is just as good just wish it's longer since I finished all episodes of sword and scale.

Mike is a very good storyteller. he is able to communicate these stories in a respectful way to victims while presenting all the facts. I've been listening to his regular podcasts for 7 years I think. I am a plus memener as well. Mike and his team have the best true crime podcast.
Iif you like murder porn, this will more than fulfill that like. you will judge all TC podcasts against what Mike delivers.

best adult bedtime stories.
