Crime and Coffee Couple - True Crime Podcast

Skip the banter: 00:04:41 YouTube from our home studio: https://youtu.be/8d2whhXOM4w [https://youtu.be/8d2whhXOM4w] It was the night before Thanksgiving 2021, Wednesday, November 24 when Leslie Reeves & Chris Smith met up for their first date after meeting online. Chris was a 48-year-old divorced father who worked for a pool contracting company. He was known around town as a nice guy who gave back to his community & grew banana trees & massive pumpkins. He was a laid back guy who enjoyed spending time at his house, tending to his backyard alongside his beagle/terrier mix, Tiki. Allison tells us the rest of the story.

Skip the banter: 00:06:37 This is a listener suggestion from Angela & Melanie. On Thursday, February 19, 2015 16-year-old Becky Watts was re-sitting for her GCSEs, or General Certificate of Secondary Education, which is an academic qualification in various subjects that take place in the UK starting in Year 9 or 10. It’s more than likely that as she sat for the exams, she was exhausted since the night before, Becky had been out, having fun with friends & hadn’t slept at all. Allison tells us the rest of this sad story.  Amazon Addiction - color changing lights: https://amzn.to/40Pzq2M [https://amzn.to/40Pzq2M] YouTube video for this story (see our faces!): https://youtu.be/OwwF1s6Ivw4 [https://youtu.be/OwwF1s6Ivw4] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcoffeecouple] All our links (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Merch, etc): https://linktr.ee/crimeandcoffee [https://linktr.ee/crimeandcoffee] Facebook Group to discuss episodes: www.facebook.com/groups/crimeandcoffeecouplepodcast/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/crimeandcoffeecouplepodcast/] References available at https://www.crimeandcoffeecouple.com [https://www.crimeandcoffeecouple.com/] a few days after this podcast airs.

Skip the banter: 00:05:47 As we mill about our lives, interacting with those that we know, or think we know, & those that we simply pass on the street, there’s sometimes no way of knowing what lies beneath the surface of a friendly smile. For all intents & purposes, Carl Eric “Charlie” Brandt seemed like a completely even-keeled, happy person. He was in what appeared to be a happy marriage that others envied, but it turned out he was hiding an exceptionally deep, dark secret. This case highlights the question: Do we ever truly know the full depths of another person?

Skip the banter: 00:07:35 On the morning of Saturday, July 21, 2018, Lana Clayton ran out of her house, claiming that she found her husband, Steve Clayton, dead at the bottom of the staircase in their South Carolina home. The coroner initially believed that Steve’s death was a result of a heart attack, but as time went by, his family began to notice that Lana was acting strangely. This prompted further investigation which shifted the whole picture in another direction.

Skip the banter: 00:05:50 Where there is history, there is haunting & the Ohio State Reformatory is a prime example of a place with not only history behind it, but also many deaths. Throughout the 94 years it held prisoners, more than 200 people perished from disease, accident, murder or suicide. Many claim that very active spirits continue to roam the rooms of the large prison which remains open to the public & serves as an active stomping ground for ghost hunters.
