Christie Family Murders

The girls are back! Join them to discuss the Christie Family murders and how greed led a teenager to kill for it. Mackenzie and Madisyn haven’t talked in a while, can’t you tell? Go down the side roads of distracted conversations and anxiety. Even though there is some silliness and laughs in this episode it doesn’t take away from the horrific tragedy of James Christie, Martha Christie, Mildred Christie, and Michael Ronayne. May the all rest in peace. Special thanks to Tasha who runs the Facebook group Graveyard Girl. She posted about this quadruple murder and allowed us to use her photos! Check her out on Facebook!
