    Sandy and Tom Bird/Lorna and Marty Anderson - Part 2
    Jun 15 2026
    When 33-year-old Sandra Bird, a devoted mother and the wife of popular Faith Lutheran Church pastor Tom Bird, was found dead in the Cottonwood River near Emporia, Kansas, the town mourned what appears to be a tragic car accident. But Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper John Rule felt like something was off. From a complete lack of skid marks to mysterious bloodstains found where they shouldn’t have been, the physical evidence just didn’t add up.

    Months later, the community was rocked again when Martin Anderson, the husband of the church's secretary, Lorna Anderson, was gunned down on a dark highway in an apparent robbery gone wrong.

    What followed was one of the most tangled criminal cases in Kansas history: competing trials, a jailhouse reversal, a made-for-TV movie, and a legal fight that stretched across nearly a decade.

    Bonus Episode: Judy Malinowski
    Jun 6 2026
    When Judy Malinowski met Michael Slager in April 2015, she was ready for love again after beating ovarian cancer and opioid addiction but the relationship quickly turned violent. After dating for only a few months, Slager poured gasoline on Judy and set her on fire, burning more than 80% of her body. Judy's unforgettable story is one of extraordinary courage, resilience, and determination in the face of unimaginable suffering. Her will to live to make a difference for domestic violence survivors is inspirational.
