In the late 90s, the little town of Tulia, Texas, was up to its ass in drugs. At least, that\\u2019s what the local sheriff thought. So he hired a guy named Tom Coleman to work as an undercover narcotics agent. What Tom discovered was truly unbelievable. As it turned out, the little town of approximately 5,000 people was home to *at least* 46 drug dealers. On top of that, the drug dealers in this economically depressed community dealt oodles of powder cocaine! Oh, and guess what?? Even though Tulia had a pretty small Black community, almost every single drug dealer that Tom encountered was Black! What are the odds??? Thanks to Tom\\u2019s undercover work, authorities arrested 46 people on drug charges. But Tom hadn\\u2019t worn a wire during these drug buys. Nothing was videoed or photographed. He hadn\\u2019t even worked alongside another undercover agent. Hell, he hadn\\u2019t even written his notes on a notepad. He\\u2019d written every pertinent detail about those drug deals on his leg.\\xa0

\\nThen Brandi tells us about the murder of Ingrid Lyne. Indrid was a newly divorced, busy mom. She shared three daughters with her ex-husband, Phillip, and she worked as a nurse at Seattle\\u2019s Swedish Medical Center. She\\u2019d just recently begun online dating. Through an app, she met John Charlton. John seemed like a nice enough guy, so Ingrid went out with him a few times. But on the morning after Ingrid went to a Seattle Mariners game with John, her friends and family couldn\\u2019t get a hold of her.\\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.
