Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! And Happy Friday the 13th! This week Mack brings us a really gruesome and infuriating case. She covers the Dardeen family murders. Were they a randomly targeted family? Or was their killer somehow involved with them? She dives into possible theories including a known serial killer’s confession.
This episode contains foul language, really graphic depictions of murder, rape, and child murder. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
