E258: Two Cousins, Four Murders

Two cousins. Four murders. One homicidal summer. In 2004, Angel Ford-Wright & Caroline Peoples lured victims with false promises, then executed them. One confessed. One went to trial. Both got life.

Looking for listener letters, shout-outs & tips on how not to get murdered? 🔍 You’ll now find them tucked away in our Love You, Bye episodes.

This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams.
