IT'S OUR 100TH EPISODE, WEIRDOS!
For this special episode, we are doing the case that is by far most requested. The one, the only....Jeffrey Dahmer. Obviously, Jeff is probably one of the most, If not THE most well known serial killers out there. In Part 1, we cover his childhood and teen years before sliding right into his first two murders. Bring your butts because you will definitely need to hold on to them.

Guys, this Alaina "Mini" Morbid is a doozy. How did we never know about this harrowing tale of 26 children and their heroic bus driver who survived over 24 hours of terror while being buried alive? Seriously, this one if intense but it has a happy ending that will leave you satisfied....at least somewhat satisfied.

This case is one we planned to cover but has now become so time sensitive that we had to scrap our original Mini Morbid case for this week and do an emergency plea for everyone to check out the facts of this case and possibly take some action.
Rodney Reed is accused of raping and murdering Stacey Stites in 1996, but the evidence definitely leads elsewhere. Now, Reed is set to be executed November 22nd for a crime he likely didn't commit.
