Ep.147 It’s Gaseous and Gruesome in Illinois

A Scary State

This week, we are in the Windy City! Well…at least the state that the Windy City is located in. First, Kenzie shares a heartbreaking story about the death of baby Heather Lee Sims. Baby Heather is taken from her home in the middle of the night and killed by a stranger…or was it? Next, Lauren lifts our spirits a bit with a bizarre story about the Mad Gasser that terrorizes the town of Mattoon, Illinois. More than two dozen separate cases of gassings were reported to police over the span of two weeks! Buckle up! It’s going to be a bumpy one.
