Linda Leedom and Lula Young had been best friends for years. They were like sisters. So when Lula developed cancer, and later died in a fire, Linda was overwhelmed with grief. Then she read Lula\\u2019s obituary. She was appalled! The obituary hadn\\u2019t referred to Linda as Lula\\u2019s sister!! Naturally, Linda confronted Lula\\u2019s mother at the funeral. Things got weirder from there. A few days later, someone spotted Lula shopping at the local Wal-Mart.

\\nThen Kristin tells us about Steven Ver Woert, whose murder shocked his family and friends. People weren\\u2019t sure who would want the fun-loving, generous man dead. But after a while, Steven\\u2019s brother spoke up. Could Steven\\u2019s ex-wife, Marty Malone be responsible for his death? Steven\\u2019s family had never liked Marty, but they were hesitant to think she was capable of murder. But when detectives knocked on Marty\\u2019s door, she acted like a total sketchball.\\xa0

\\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.
