Crafting the Case

Episode 48 is here, and spooky season has officially entered the CTC craft room! 🎃🕯️
This week, Ashley and Sandi are turning POOL NOODLES, hot glue and a little Halloween magic into spooky candlesticks — because apparently we can make seasonal décor out of absolutely anything at this point. 😂
While we craft, Tara tells the incredible survival story of Jennifer Morey, a young lawyer who was brutally attacked inside her own Houston apartment by someone who was supposed to be there to keep her safe. What follows is a terrifying story of instinct, quick thinking, an unforgettable 911 call and one woman's determination to survive.
And of course, we finish things off with the After Show, catch up on what's happening in our lives, and inevitably get sidetracked along the way.
Grab your glue gun, sacrifice a pool noodle to the Halloween gods, and come Craft the Case with us! 🎨🔎🎃

Welcome back to Crafting the Case! 🎨🔎
This week, Sandi is taking us back to Glace Bay, Cape Breton in 1976 to revisit a murder that has remained part of local conversation for decades. We walk through what is known about the case, the investigation, the unanswered questions, and some of the stories and lore that have grown around it over the years. While Sandi takes us into 1970s Glace ay, Tara and Ashley are trying their hand at watercolour painting — because apparently nothing pairs with an unsolved murder quite like a peaceful little art session. 😂
PLUS: Tara introduces a brand-new segment called “What in the World?” and we wrap things up with the After Show, life updates, recommendations, and whatever else we inevitably get sidetracked talking about.
✨ In Episode 47:
• A 1976 Glace Bay murder
• The investigation and unanswered questions
• Cape Breton lore surrounding the case
• Tara's NEW “What in the World?” segment 🌎
• Watercolour painting 🎨
• The After Show + our usual chaos
 
Thanks for watching, hanging out, crafting, and casing with us. ❤️

This week on Crafting the Case, Ashley takes us across Cape Breton with six eerie ghost stories that have been whispered for generations. From haunted roads to lingering spirits, these local legends prove that Cape Breton is just as spooky as it is beautiful. While the ghost stories unfold, we're getting creative with adorable air-dry clay animals using a craft sent in by one of our amazing listeners (seriously... you all have the best ideas! 🩷).
We also spend some time catching up on life—including Tara's latest adventure involving a very sharp knife and one very unfortunate finger. 😬 Grab your clay, settle in, and join us for another episode full of spooky stories, laughs, questionable crafting skills, and plenty of after-show chaos.

🦩🐚 This week on Crafting the Case, Sandi dives into the shocking murder of elite cyclist Moriah Wilson—a case that quickly spiraled into a nationwide manhunt, international intrigue, and one of the most talked-about true crime stories in recent years. While unpacking the investigation, the evidence, and the dramatic capture that stunned the cycling community, Ashley, and Tara create adorable flamingo artwork using seashells... because around here we like to balance our true crime with a little beachy crafting. 😂🌴 As always, we wrap things up with our Aftershow, where the conversation goes completely off the rails in the best way possible.

👻🖼️ This week on Crafting the Case, Tara brings us three seriously creepy tales of haunted inanimate objects — including a picture, a doll, and one very unsettling cabinet thing (technical term, obviously 😂).
Meanwhile, Sandi and Ashley break out the silver leaf and glue guns for this week’s craft, because nothing says “haunted objects” quite like making questionable crafting decisions with extremely hot glue. ✨🔥
And, of course, we wrap things up with the Aftershow, where we catch up, share what we’ve been watching, reading, and listening to, and inevitably wander completely off topic.
👻 Three haunted objects.✨ Silver leaf.🔥 Glue guns.🎙️ Aftershow goodness.
Just another perfectly normal week at Crafting the Case! 😂

📚✨ This week, Ashley shares the remarkable story of beloved Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Best known for creating Anne of Green Gables, Montgomery became one of Canada's most celebrated writers and helped pave the way for generations of women authors. But behind the success was a life marked by personal struggles, heartbreak, and a death that continues to raise questions more than 80 years later.
As Ashley tells the story of L.M. Montgomery's life, legacy, and lasting impact on Canadian literature, the girls continue bedazzling their piggy banks and somehow manage to wander into plenty of aftershow shenanigans along the way.
