In this episode, Kiki covers Aum Shinrikyo and the 1995 Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack, while Rachel brings us the disappearance of Jewel Paul Wheeler. Then we have a brief chat about what we've been reading and watching and doing.
Side note: We were drinking Boba Tea while recording, so apologies for the slurping noises.
Our next book is "Hell's Half Acre: The Untold Story of the Benders, a Serial Killer Family on the American Frontier" by Susan Jonusas, which we will discuss in episode 16.
