About this episode

This episode explores the safety of crosswalks versus jaywalking, the story of Bella Kiss, and a morbid love story titled A Rose for Carl.

In today's episode, we start by looking at whether it’s actually safer to use a crosswalk instead of a just jaywalking as well as the actual origin of the word “jaywalk”. Next up, we jump into the main part of the show on the horrific tale of the dashingly handsome Bella Kiss, the Vampire of Cinkota, and the many, many women he murdered. Following that, we move on to a sickly sweet and more than a little morbid love story we’re calling A Rose for Carl.
