What Cries Out
Cassandra and Dianne
We are a monthly Mother-Daughter True Crime Podcast. Each month we will focus on a case that cries out to us. What brings an individual to the precipice of darkness? Can we make sense of societies darkest edges? Sometimes we share generationally opposing views or push our own minds to that edge, but we do this to bring souls into remembrance all while bringing a social issue to light... This is What Cries Out.
Blood On Snow: The Wichita Massacre
Send us a text Sometimes, the most terrifying crimes are the ones that seem to happen without reason — crimes where the victims and perpetrators have no connection, no shared history, and no clear motive. It’s the randomness that chills us to the core: the idea that danger can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time. These are the stories that unsettle us the most because they shatter our sense of security. We like to believe that if we stay out of trouble, trouble will stay away from us — but
