Mitchell Carlton Sims was pretty proud of himself. He\u2019d landed a job as the manager of a Domino\u2019s Pizza in West Columbia, South Carolina. But the good times didn\u2019t last long. He got into a disagreement with his boss over a bonus and flipped out. Mitch tried to stage a coup. It didn\u2019t work. He tried to get his boss fired. That didn\u2019t work either. Finally, Mitch quit. But he held onto an out-of-control rage toward his former employer.\xa0\n
\n\nThen Brandi tells us about a family annihilator. (Does that surprise you? If so, welcome to the podcast.) James Kraig Kahler was a bad husband. He controlled and manipulated his wife, Karen. He controlled Karen\u2019s social circle, as well as her finances. But James lost a little control when Karen sold enough cakes to buy herself a gym membership. She became a regular at the gym, and eventually found work as a trainer. It was there that she met Sunny Reece. Karen and Sunny\u2019s friendship soon blossomed into something more. Initially, James was okay with that.\n
\n\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.\n
