73 - A Lil Bit of Serial Thrills & Chilling Feels & True Crime Updates

Sandy and Kristy kick off this weeks episode of Lil Bit Dead with a visit to Urgent Care - because Kristy likely has strep, then vent about taxes and celebrate small life wins. They dive into two big true-crime updates: a 1974 murder of 17-year-old Laura Amy finally being definitively tied to Ted Bundy through preserved evidence and modern DNA, and a 1994 Arizona missing child case where 13-year-old Christina Plant was found alive at 44 after 32 years—though authorities won’t share details. They rant about misinformation (including people misreading “inconclusive” ballistics), touch on the Dugger case update, argue you can’t judge how someone grieves, and end with a creepy embalming TikTok, a Harry Potter casting complaint, and a formal apology for unwanted Bubba Wallace ads.
