Pete & Pat Bondurant were terrorizing twins from the south. In this two-parter, the brothers discuss the Bondurant brothers’ beginnings and the victims they left in their wake. Had Pete’s punishment for his first murder been a bit more appropriate, maybe there would not have been as many victims. We’ll never know. These bros believed if there was “no body” they could get away with murder. They were almost right. This is the book referenced in the episode:

In this episode the Brothers discuss an increasingly prevalent crime that’s claiming lives everywhere: Sextortion.
Unfortunately, many cases involve young men who ultimately take their lives as a result of the crimes perpetrated by evil people who are often several thousand miles away. The young women who are victimized often have explicit videos or pictures of themselves used over and over again to perpetuate these schemes. These young folks are kids. This crime is the horrible.
Please, listen to the stories of these victims and their families, and help educate the young people in your life about the evil that’s out there.
If you have been a victim of sextortion, you can call 1-800-CALL-FBI or report the crime online at tips.fbi.gov.

Warning: this is a heart wrenching story that involves the violent death of a child. It may be too upsetting for some to listen to this episode or explore these notes.
Late one night in January 2023, a 12 year-old girl stabbed her 9 year-old little brother to death inside their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma while their mother was upstairs asleep. Through her tears, the girl repeatedly professed her remorse and said she didn’t know why she did it. Her mother says this horrific act was completely out of character for the girl and believes medication is to blame.
In this episode, the Brothers in Crime explore the tragic death of Zander Lyda - a happy, loving little boy. Like the rest of the world, we can’t help but ponder: WHY?

Four double homicides that occurred in the Tidewater region of Virginia in the late 1980’s are commonly referred to as the “Colonial Parkway Murders.” In our five-part series, we discuss each of the four cases in its own episode and then put it all together in an extended fifth episode. We’ve tried to present the cases in a way that each episode stands on its own.
This episode is about the second case: the murders of David Knobling & Robin Edwards.
