SocietyCultureSociety & CultureTrue Crime
This week, we're doing something a little different! Instead of our usual deep dives, we're sharing quirky summer crimes that happened in quintessential vacation spots—beaches, ice cream shops, campgrounds, and lakes. These are less "summer slasher" and more "summer swipers." From a filmmaker who exposed a theft ring targeting surfers in Newport Beach to a Michigan man who stole from campground payment boxes, these stories are lighthearted, bizarre, and surprisingly entertaining. We'll also cover boat thefts in Germany, ice cream heists that required pint locks, and the audacity of thieves who prey on beachgoers while they're catching waves. If you're looking for a break from heavy true crime, this episode is perfect. It's fun, quirky, and proof that crime doesn't take a summer vacation—it just gets a little more creative. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

Between school drop-offs and grocery runs, Mandy and Melissa found a shared obsession with the unanswered questions lurking in the shadows. Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast is the result: a conversation that feels like sitting at a kitchen table with two friends who are deeply curious about the human condition. Their perspective is uniquely grounded, examining each story not just for its shock value, but for the societal threads and personal tragedies that weave it together. You’ll hear them discuss everything from the strangely specific weirdness of a Florida crime to a globally known cold case, always with a blend of empathy and a dash of necessary, dark humor. This isn't a clinical report; it's a twice-weekly deep dive fueled by a lifelong fascination with mysteries, both big and small. The tone is warm, the research is thorough, and the conversation is the kind you get hooked on. New episodes of this true crime podcast arrive every Tuesday and Thursday, ready to be your companion during a commute or while folding laundry. They’ve been asking "how did this happen?" since they were kids, and now they’re pulling up a chair for you to join that ongoing, compelling discussion.
