Lydia Fairchild was in a tight spot, financially. She had two young children, was pregnant with a third, and she was unemployed. So she applied for welfare. As part of Washington state\u2019s application process, she and the children\u2019s father both submitted DNA samples to confirm that they were the children\u2019s biological parents. But the DNA tests revealed shocking news. She was not the children\u2019s mother.\n
\n\nThen Brandi tells us about a murder that hit close to home. It was the spring of 2002, and Amanda Sharp and her friend Kevin Gunby didn\u2019t want to go to school. So the pair skipped class and headed over to Kevin\u2019s house. Hours later, when their friend Brad Jaynes showed up at Kevin\u2019s house, Kevin delivered startling news. He told Brad that he\u2019d killed Amanda. Then he showed him her body.\xa0\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
