Jennifer Morey Caldwell was a cautious person. So when she picked out her apartment complex, she chose the Bayou Park Apartments. She was a young lawyer living alone in Houston, Texas, so she was drawn to the complex\u2019s 24-hour security. The apartment complex was protected by Pinkerton Security. She\u2019d heard of them. Surely they\u2019d keep her safe.\xa0

\nThen, Kristin wraps things up with the explosive story of Olestra. Those of us who lived through the 90\u2019s remember Frito-Lay\u2019s Wow brand of chips.

They caused anal leakage.

\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.
