49. They’re Gun Totin and Despacito - a podcast by Dani Peak and Carly Peak

It's our last episode of 2020! We hope everyone is ready for 2020’s funeral as we get ready to celebrate New Year's Eve. Speaking of NYE, that’s the theme for this episode!

This week, Dani covers Colleen McKernan. Just minutes before NYE 2014 Colleen shot her husband Rob McKernan to death. When the police arrived she claimed she shot him in self-defense. The details of this case unfold as Colleen goes on trial to prove her self-defense claim. Was Colleen a survivor of domestic abuse, or was she really just a slayer?  Listen in and let us know what you think.

Carly covers the kidnapping of Katie Beers. Just two days before Katie’s 10th birthday a family friend, John Esposito, abducted her and locked her in an underground soundproof room he created inside his home. Listen in to hear how Katie’s survivor skills help save her from her captor.
