The Witch of Staten Island: Polly Bodine
Polly Bodine is known in history as "The Witch of Staten Island", and she probably has one of the most RIDICULOUS court histories that I have ever heard of. In a murder that is technically considered unsolved (pssst, hey Buzzfeed Unsolved, heard of this one yet?), Polly Bodine's case is an interesting one to tackle this week.

A Very Christmas Murder: Patricia White and the Michelle O'Dowd Murder
So, let's celebrate the season of giving with some truly terrible people. In all seriousness, I hope everyone is having a very happy holiday season, and stay tuned for some bonus episodes this week! Patricia White is probably one of the worst murderesses that we've had on this podcast, simply because the murder she committed was so stupid and selfish. She is the first of 3 murderesses that we'll be talking about this week, all of whom committed murders during the holiday season.

The Youngest Members of the Dutch Resistance: Truus and Freddie Oversteegen
This episode was absolute chaos to upload. But, technical difficulties aside, it's probably one of my favorite episodes to date. Let's talk about Freddie and Truus Oversteegen, sisters who were the youngest members of the underground Haarlem Council of Resistance during World War II. Their missions? Seduce and murder Nazi commanders, sabotage railways, and free Jewish people from concentration camps. All while they were 14 and 16 years old.
