This week on Crafting the Case, Ashley takes us through the eerie history of the infamous “27 Club” — the tragic group of musicians and artists who all died at the age of 27. From legendary careers to conspiracy theories and the darker side of fame, we dive into the stories behind some of music’s most iconic losses. Meanwhile, Tara and Sandi continue bedazzling their oversized Diet Coke cans because apparently one episode was not enough for this craft chaos. Expect rhinestones, questionable design choices, distractions, and lots of laughs along the way. 😂 As always, we wrap things up with an aftershow full of random conversations, updates, and fun. 🎙️ New episodes every week! #CraftingTheCase #TrueCrimePodcast #27Club #MusicMysteries #CraftPodcast #TrueCrimeAndCrafts #PodcastLife #Bedazzled #AftershowChaos

Episode 39 - Uniforms and Unraveling

This week on Crafting the Case, we dive into one of Canada’s most chilling and infamous cases — the story of former Canadian Forces Colonel Russell Williams. From his secret double life and escalating break-ins to the shocking investigation that unraveled everything, we unpack how someone viewed as disciplined, respected, and trustworthy hid horrifying crimes in plain sight. Meanwhile, the girls continue working on their picnic table craft project from a few episodes ago, using modeling clay to create tiny food, decor, and accessories for their miniature picnic scenes… with lots of laughs, chaos, and questionable artistic choices along the way. 😂 And of course, we wrap things up with our usual aftershow chat! 🎙️ New episodes every week! #CraftingTheCase #TrueCrimePodcast #RussellWilliams #CanadianTrueCrime #NovaScotia #CapeBreton #JessicaLloyd #CraftPodcast #PodcastLife #TrueCrimeCommunity

Episode 38 - Coke Cans and Consequences

This week on Crafting the Case, Tara covers the tragic case of Kristin Johnson, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Butcher in a devastating case that shocked many following the story. While Tara takes us through the case, Sandi fully embraces the craft chaos by bringing back a fan-favourite activity: bedazzling oversized Diet Coke cans ✨🥤 (aka piggy banks… technically 😂). Between rhinestones flying across the table, emotional moments, and our usual aftershow conversations, this episode is peak Crafting the Case energy.

Episode 37 - Glass and Grief

This week, we’re bringing you a coastal-inspired episode of Crafting the Case 🌊 Sandi takes on sea glass art, creating something beautiful from ocean treasures, while Ashley shares the heartbreaking story of the SS Atlantic shipwreck, one of the most tragic shipwrecks in Nova Scotia history. With Tara away, we’re joined by special guest co-host Devin, who jumps right into both the storytelling and the crafting (with mixed results 😉). As always, we wrap things up with our after show — chatting, crafting, and catching up. A little bit cozy, a little bit chilling — just the way we like it.

Episode 36 - Prophets and Paintings

Episode 36… or 37?? honestly who knows at this point 😂 This week on Crafting the Case, Sandi dives into the disturbing story behind the FLDS group and Samuel Bateman, unpacking the events leading up to the recent Netflix documentary and how it all connects back to the ongoing legacy of control, power, and manipulation within the FLDS. While the story unfolds, Tara leads us through a calming (and much-needed) acrylic painting session on canvas 🎨✨ — a slight emotional contrast to the case, to say the least. We’re not done yet though… next week we’re continuing the project by adding molding clay to create a full picnic scene 🧺🌼 As always, we wrap things up with our aftershow — chatting books, shows we’re loving lately, and exchanging some very on-brand little gifts 💅🎁 Dark stories, cozy crafts, and a little bit of chaos — just how we like it.
