Episode 221 - Richard Craniums - The Murder of Nicole VanderHeyden

Imagine you’re accused of a murder you didn’t commit. What's the worst alibi you could possibly have? It's the one with no eyewitnesses, right? It's the one that’s impossible to prove and might even seem a bit too convenient.Now, picture your dread as a detective leans in across the interrogation table and asks, "Where were you on the morning of “such and such a date”, between 3 and 6 in the morning?" Your heart sinks cause your only answer is the honest one: "I was at home, asleep all night in bed by myself."It’s an alibi like this that can put a person in the hot seat even if they ARE telling the truth.How to support:For extra perks including exclusive content, early release, and ad-free episodes -Go to - PatreonHow to connect:WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterPlease check out our sponsors and help support the podcast:Zocdoc - Go to zocdoc.com/MADNESS and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.
