True Crimecast

A copper thief gets desperate and orders off menu. And a burglar uses the ever-popular sandwich alibi to get away with his crime.

Why would you drive a riding lawnmower into a Target? Or take a leaf blower into a Culvers? Or repeatedly use the same mask to commit robberies? The world may never know.

In March 1950, 25-year-old Timothy Evans was executed for a brutal crime inside his London home. The prosecution's star witness was his soft-spoken downstairs neighbor—a former police constable named John Christie, whose quiet authority seemed above suspicion. But three years later, a terrifying discovery hidden behind the wallpaper at 10 Rillington Place forced the nation to confront a horrific possibility.

A murder is solved by digging into a furnace and an indoor outhouse. Yes, you read that right. Also, John cries because a brass dog was assaulted.

A man loses his mind when he emerges from the sewer (or before he goes in?), and another tries to burn down his house and his roommates. Which one is insane? And John has a hot take on the insanity defense.
