You've already stayed up all night solving the murder of JonBenet Ramsey knowing full well that you're going to reheat that coffee all day tomorrow while the kids tear up the house. It's hard work, but someone's gotta do it!

My name is Bethany and as the host of Milk and Murder (and mom of FOUR KIDS,) I share lesser-known true crime stories that keep your mental health + young, listening ears + justice for victims in mind.
