On this episode, we honor lives taken far too soon.

First, we tell the story of Fan Man-Yee, a bright young woman whose disappearance and murder shook her community and left a family searching for answers that never fully came.

Then, we turn to one of the most heartbreaking cases in American history: the Girl Scout Murders at Camp Scott in Oklahoma, where three young girls lost their lives during what should have been a summer of laughter, friendship, and s’mores.

This isn’t about sensational headlines.

This is about remembering who they were.

About the families who never stopped loving them.

And about making sure their names are never forgotten.

Because true crime should never forget the humans at the center of the story.

Love isn’t always sweet. Sometimes it’s controlling. Sometimes it’s obsessive. And sometimes… it’s fatal.
This Valentine’s Week, we dive into the heartbreaking murder of Tara Grant and the shocking, rage-filled story of the Papin sisters. Two cases. Two relationships gone wrong. One unforgettable episode about what happens when love turns dangerous.Sources

This week, we’re telling two stories about women who refused to stay in their lanes and terrified society in very different ways.

First up: Sharon Kinne. Blonde. Beautiful. Seemingly untouchable. Behind the polished smile was a trail of bullets, dead husbands, and a courtroom saga so wild it feels fictional… except it wasn’t. From suburban Kansas City to an international escape, Sharon’s story is one of manipulation, charm, and a justice system that blinked at exactly the wrong moments.

Then, we ride straight into legend with Calamity Jane. Frontierswoman. Scout. Drunk, brave, grieving, and endlessly misunderstood. Was she a fearless truth-teller or her own best myth-maker? We strip back the dime-novel nonsense to find the real woman beneath the buckskins, the loneliness behind the bravado, and the reason her name still echoes through the Wild West.

One woman killed to protect her image.
One woman became an image to survive.

Two stories. Two reputations. And a reminder that history has never known what to do with women who refuse to behave.

Pour something strong. This one rides hard.
