  • Her Unimaginable Strength - Judy Malinowski
    Jun 20 2025
    On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ the harrowing and tragic case of Judy Malinowski. In 2015 Judy was in a volatile relationship with her boyfriend Mike Slager. One afternoon while stopping at a gas station for cigarettes the two of them get into a fight and Mike pours gasoline on Judy and sets her on fire! Over the next 2 years she would fight through unfathomable pain to stay alive. She not only changed the law in Ohio but would be the first person in US history to testify in her own murder trial! Moral of this story... "we will either find a way, or make one." - Hannibal Barca Huge shout out to Myrtle for helping me research this episode! Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Birds of a feather... - The Chicago Ripper Crew
    Jun 6 2025
    On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ the shocking case of The Chicago Ripper Crew. We have talked about serial killers many times but I have never heard of a group of serial killers that murdered together. These 4 men unfortunately found one another, killed together and performed disgusting "satanic" rituals. I have never covered a case this brutal and I'm not lying when I tell you I have 2 nightmares this week about this case. Moral of this story...

I found this podcast by accident earlier this year (2022)and I have been hooked ever since! I was drawn in by Russ’ NY accent and stayed for the stories and the banter. Russ and Jess make these stories come alive and make me feel sad, horrified, scared and angry-all the feelings! I now quote Russ -“stay fit, stay alive!” and my personal favorite “too fat to kidnap!” Thanks for bringing light to these cases and thanks for showing me not everything has a horrible ending with your segment “not me! Not today!” Keep it up! ♥️

You make all the emotions come out

I am obsessed with Jess and Russ. I tell everyone I know to listen. My fave is when Russ makes fun of Jess farting. I am a fellow farter, and they remind me of when my hubby makes fun of my farts to our friends. It’s embarrassing but he’s just venting his frustration 😆 my fave time of day is when I’m working and listening to them!
