The Case of Melanie Rickey and The Ken and Barbie Killers Part 1

Killer Vacations

Happy 50th! We have so much to unpack with you all! What are you the Queen and Kings of this week? Lauren and Brittney talk about their accomplishments this week and Britt's sleep paralysis and a weird TikTok Lauren saw about an unexpected cannibal encounter. We jump into in the headlines (12:06), Lauren starts with an update on Wade Wilson, then another case that has captivated the headlines for the last 20 years, then a little update on the listeria outbreak happening. Brittney gives us an update on some of her in the headlines from last week and a man from Hilton Head SC that went missing and found in a heartbreaking way. Brittney starts her case (41:00) of Melanie Rickey, a local case that was suggested to us. BIG TRIGGER WARNING for this case as it may be one of the hardest to hear, it was hard for us as well. Brittney tells us about a beautiful young girl who goes out for probably the first time and goes to a very sketchy party and everything goes bad from there. This story has such a heart breaking ending and really lights a fire under us. We do not apologize for how we feel, as I'm sure some of you will feel the same. Justice was not served in this case. Then we hit you with another case (1:26:10) that Lauren brings us and SURPRISE its a two parter. Lauren brings us the Ken and Barbie Killers, we start with the victims and the connection between the Scarborough Rapist and the Ken and Barbie killers. We dive into the background of these sick individuals and how they met but catch next weeks episode to hear so much more on this case!
