Kerri covers the case of Raymond Edmunds, dubbed "Mr. Stinky" by a cheeky newspaper sub-editor. He was a convicted double murderer and serial rapist who terrorized Victoria, Australia for over two decades.

Donna tells us about Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, the Ladies of Llangollen. They were two upper-class Irish women determined to resist the fate of conventional marriage, so committed to their freedom that they disguised themselves as men and fled Ireland together in 1778. They settled into a Gothic home called Plas Newydd in North Wales, where their unconventional life together both scandalized and captivated everyone.

Donna is taking us to 1966 Brazil, where two men were found dead on a remote hillside wearing homemade lead masks over their eyes, suits on their backs, and a cryptic notebook nearby with zero explanation for how they died. Nearly sixty years later, no one has been able to crack this case, and the theories just keep getting wilder. Kerri is bringing us the story of Emma Smith Raine, a woman who buried three husbands under very suspicious circumstances and somehow had the audacity to build a mansion with the insurance money and name the street it sat on after herself.
