Rachel and Heather begin their latest episode with listener appreciation and updates on their podcast activities. They then dive into a new true crime case emerging from Crime Con, where Tom Phillips fled with his three children in New Zealand, living off the grid for nearly four years. Phillips was shot dead by the police following a reported theft, while his children were safely recovered. The episode concludes with a Crime Con recap and expressions of gratitude to their listeners for continued support.
