The cold-blooded killing of Honorah Parker Rieper is commonly known as the most infamous murder in New Zealand's history. Katie and Azra cover the case and the twisted fantasy world that Pauline and Juliet, the 15-year-old best friends who were responsible for the murder, would do anything to save.

We also discuss how much (or little) Ed & Lorraine actually had to do with these cases, as well as what some skeptics have to say about their work.
Were Ed & Lorraine Warren truly doing good work in solving cases of hauntings, or were they simply building a business and hoping to make money off of people's naiveté? Listen now to find out!
