This week we have a real treat for all of our Garage friends. A three part series featuring an in depth case review by the True Crime Garage guys that includes rare audio from the killer. Part 1 starts off with a review of our “Last Will and Testament” case. It’s a case that rocked and terrified the great state of South Carolina. It’s the rare occurrence when a community is aware that a serial killers is at work, right under their noses. Who is next and how many lives will he claim before they finally catch the killer. We have gone back and added the actual phone calls that the victims family received from the killer. Additional commentary has been added as well so the listeners can hear for the first time the calls from the killer and analysis of the calls. This is the case of Shari Faye Smith and Debra May Helmick. Gather 'round, grab a chair, grab a beer and join us for this special three part series.
