It smells like a funeral home in this Airstream ⚰️💐

But as Winnie, my 3-year-old, would say: “THAT’S OKAY!”

She usually only says this about things that are decidedly NOT okay.

But in this case, we’re always grateful for a roof overhead and it’s just a bonus when it’s as cute as this place.

Throwback to Ezra’s first time at the beach 🌊🩳

Sand was delicious, our compliments to the chef

I thought the Dashboard Confessional cover was sooo funny and also I guess I still think it’s so funny.

Also who has been to Westport, WA? How is that place not haunted as heck?

I meant the doorbell but omg 🚨🫠😂

We’re a few weeks into our NOMAD LIFESTYLE and it’s been uh…memorable?

We’re making it and we’re learning a lot of lessons.

But oh my GOSHHHH

One thing my 4 children will never learn is to keep it chill when your Airbnb hosts can hear you.

I’m waiting for the day when we bump into a host and one of my kids says the basement is perfect for the HUMAN SACRIFICES or something and then

There’s no coming back from that 😂

Bless! (this house especially, it’s haunted apparently)

Any real life haunted house stories y’all have for us??

I love writing crime and obscura more than anything I’ve ever done and I hope I get to do it full time someday.

I work in marketing and I torture myself with all of the things that should be done to post properly.

And I hope I can start to get over that and just share more like this.

I went to the grave of Bonnie Parker (you know, Bonnie and Clyde) around Christmas. When I first discovered Wikipedia, I wielded it to read about every crime I could think of.

This is when I wish I knew that I had ADHD and it would have explained why the only thing I remember about my life at that time was learning about Bonnie Parker.

Of course, she was a criminal.

But she was also a young poet and she fell soooooo in looooove with this guy–

but of course we can’t just blame Clyde, Bonnie had an intemperate streak all on her own

–and the two of them followed their frenzied antics to their deaths.

I (weirdly) thought a lot of my divorce during that trip. Mostly just how you can catch a vibe with really anyone and next thing you know it’s a whole mess.

Bonnie’s grave is covered in little gifts and trinkets. People leave pennies and toys and ci******es and alcohol.

I brought my penny and a little bouquet.

Cheers to this infamously wild and really terrible lady 🥂 We can all relate because we’re all, at times, wild and terrible 😂

My SON! He’s 5!

Dear Theodosia used to make me weep when I was pregnant with him.

And it still does when I get into thinking about it 🤫 (oh you too? Okay cool, who let us two sad sacks of crap in here??)

I never envisioned being a single mom to him and he keeps me on my toes.

But the thing about this one? He’s going to blow us all away, promise ❤️

We all talk about Bonnie Parker of Bonnie and Clyde fame, but how about this absolutely ICONIC picture of Blanche Barrow, Clyde's sister-in-law?

She was arrested near an abandoned amusement park in Iowa after having been widowed and nearly blinded for her involvement in Clyde Barrow's crime posse.

Absolutely could not resist sharing this pic when I found it- the pants give me total Katherine Hepburn vibes 😂

I am 🍁thankful🍁 that I was able to take a shower by mySELF with no assistance for the first time in 4 months!

Still have quite a bit of pain at night, but am cleared to walk on 12/01 and I’m so ready to go 🏃🏻‍♀️

Happy Thanksgiving ❤️ Cherish the love you feel today, even if it’s just the tight hug I’m sending you right now and don’t forget how we got this holiday which is really effed so we should step into the future with more awareness but never forget where we’ve been, even the things that weren’t our finest things

Hi, new follower friends- quick intro 💋 What do we have in common?

My name is Betsy

I’m a swamped single mom of 4

Marketing exec by day ☕️

True crime story teller by night 🌒

Gimme all the stats, the data, the research of the macabre. I love what’s non-fiction and I’m fascinated the very worst of the real world.

I feel like I deserve an iced coffee every time I leave the house and I listen to the same song on repeat about a thousand times before moving on to the next.

I love to love 🖤 Being single has been super healing for me in this, though I’m starting to feel like maybe I might be missing a partner in my life.

Overcome: deconstruction, abuse, homelessness, and just about ready to walk again after 4 months with a broken leg.

Big 3: 🌞 Sagittarius, 🌒 Gemini, 🌅Virgo. Live for forecasts.

I’ve been tagged so many times ❤️

And I don’t mind, of course. I just have nothing to say.

I’ve suspended my opinions.

I’ve done all of my speculating.

Now, we wait with Delphi.

I promised .merth I’d watch the first episode of DAHMER on Netflix if she did even though I haaaaaate serial killer talk 😂

My kids come home on Sunday though (found this oldie in my camera roll and had to laugh) so I need to just rip off the bandaid.

It’s been interesting reading the criticisms of this from the victims’ families.

I’ve been open for a long time about how I feel about romanticizing serial killers and about how this content can be harmful.

I’m super curious about your take…

Do you think there’s a world in the near future where we see more people boycotting this kind of content?

Will there ever be a paradigm shift?

Will the archetype of the morally ambiguous crime podcaster always reign supreme?

Lots to chew on here (oh gosh, no pun intended) 😬🫣

You would do ANYTHING for your kids.

The same is true for these four women whose children are missing or gone before their time.

❤️ VERONICA PATE | If you've followed me, you know her daughter ShyShy's story. Veronica has not stopped looking for her daughter since the day she disappeared.

❤️ LISA HINES | Lisa's daughter Wakiesha was taken into police custody and died under suspicious circumstances while booked. Lisa didn't see her daughter at her initial court proceedings.

When she called for an update, she was given the number to the coroner's office. This is how she found out about her daughter's death. Here she is seen rallying for justice.

❤️ MARY LYALL | Mary's daughter Suzanne went missing after leaving her job in 1998. Since then, Mary has been instrumental in initiating legislation to help find missing young adults.

She also established the Center for Hope which provides support to families of missing persons.

❤️ LATICE SUTTON | Latice's daughter Mitrice was arrested for erratic behavior 🙄 and released on to the street where she went missing. (If you're keeping track, this is the second LAPD mishandling of a Black woman's arrest.)

Her body was discovered 11 months later. Mitrice was known to suffer from mental illness and her parents successfully sued the LAPD for mishandling her release while she was in crisis. Latice continues to advocate for Mitrice today.

Do you know these moms? Have you seen their stories?

Would love to hear if you can think of anyone else for my next post about moms fighting for justice.
