Grifters, celebrities, and murder... Oh My!Vonia brings the scandal when she tells Averyn the story of con woman, Bonnie Bakley, and the celebrity who may or may not have murdered her...

Rom Crime

Did Robert Blake Kill Bonnie Bakley?

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: If God texts you….IT’S NOT REALLY THEM.Averyn tells Vonia a story with a some of our favorite things: Love, Cults, and the land of Sweden. Yes, please!

Cults, Love, and Murder in the Land of Sweden

As True Crime aficionados, we are all familiar with the frustrating feeling of watching a murder doc where the killer is soo obvious, and yet those in charge of catching him/her seem to be struggling, or worse, focused on the wrong person... Now imagine, YOU are that wrong person, and the people hired to defend you, the people you believe love you, are the very ones leading detectives your direction. In this weeks newest Rom Crime, What I Did for Love, we share the story (with the help of Maria Elena Salinas ?❤️?❤️) of Judy Henderson. Judy found herself in the very scenario described above and 30 years later she is finally sharing her story. The real story. 

What I Did for Love

Shocking updates to last week&apos;s episode, Fatal Love Triangle, with new developments as late as May 6, 2021.  Listen to hear the latest! 

Shocking Fatal Love Triangle Update ?❗️Rom Crime Special Edition

In this weeks Rom Crime, we tackle the story of a fatal love triangle. Where the presumed guilt of one member involved left police blind to the mountains of evidence right in front of them.  We also have a new true crime badass hero! Her name is Maria Elena Salinas and she holds nothing back when it comes to uncovering the truth and questioning authority. We LOVE her!

Fatal Love Triangle

The unknown haunts and inspires us. The unsolved frustrates and fascinates us. For as long as tales of true crime have captivated me my interest has been equally split between the WHY these horrific things happen and the HOW the detectives and forensic experts put the pieces together and catch and cage the monster. But when the WHY never becomes clear and the HOW the killer is caught never comes to fruition we are trapped in an endless void where no answers are offered. In this weeks RomCrime, Vonia and I share with you a story that’s gone 40 years without any answers. While those guilty of this crime may seem obvious, justice for those responsible is anything but. Find our latest episode, Keddie, everywhere you get your podcasts.

Keddie

For our Season 3 premiere, allow us to introduce you to Tony and Frances Toto.  A couple whose real life story was so bonkers that...they made it into a MOVIE.“THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE!” Words often uttered by anyone watching a really bad romantic comedy or, MY favorite, a really bad horror movie.  In our never ending search for the most romantic true crime stories out there, Vonia and I often discover that real life is, indeed, stranger (read: bat shit crazier) than fiction. However, once in awhile, a Rom Crime story pops up that seems too mind boggling to possibly be true. A story, so wild, that only a room full of writers tripping their balls off could ever come up with the plot.  

I Love You to Death

Averyn and I begin this journey covering the first episode of HBO&apos;s, docu-series, I&apos;ll Be Gone in the Dark: Murder Habit. For any true crime lover, this feels personal. It was like watching someone with similar obsessions (the wonderful Michelle McNamara) dive far past where we would dare to go. The risks she takes and the obsession that ultimately declares her, are fascinating and heart-wrenching. It is a terrifying, can&apos;t turn your eyes away ride.
