Stranger Than Fiction: Vol. 2

Published: Jan. 21, 2022, 8 a.m.

b'\\u201cStranger than fiction\\u201d is one of our guiding forces here at True Crime Campfire. We always try to find the kind of stories that will live rent-free in your head for the rest of your life. But of all the weird stories we\\u2019ve encountered in our decades of true crime obsession, there are a few that stand out far above the crowd. In our first case, a quirky professor known for his unorthodox views on fast food comes home from a conference and walks into a nightmare. A day later, detectives walk in on the weirdest, most brutal crime scene they\\u2019ve ever seen. And in the second, a teenage boy is forced to confront a kind of betrayal worse than he ever could have imagined\\u2014and investigators will have to puzzle through a maze of bizarre clues to work out what happened.
