Episode 31: Art Imitates Death - The Crimes of Mark Twitchell

Season 2, Ep. 31

Lindsay's sister, Mandy, joins her for this weeks episode - because it was Mandy's suggestion to do the story! Join them as they dive into the "Dexter killer" case. Not too far from home in Edmonton, Alberta, Mark Twitchell was a cosplaying, online dating, aspiring filmmaker. But nothing is ever that simple. He was also a plotting, self-obsessed, sociopath. When a beloved Edmontonian goes missing, his friends act as investigators to tip off the police, leading to Mark Twitchell's journal - basically a written confession to a gruesome murder. But first! Lindsay has some Out of Bounds stories to tell.
