This week Melody brings us the Licata Ax slayings. Learn about how this violent crime was used to push a certain agenda.
Melody, Aubrey, and Kevin are ex-coworkers who talked crime when not feverishly focused on their jobs. In order to multitask, “the documentary club” Slack channel was born. That chapter of their lives has delightfully come to a close. However, “the documentary club” has rebranded into Mostly Macabre and you’re all invited.
