Shortcide: Where Is Ace Ventura When You Need Him?

About this episode

Bailey and Chelsea humorously explore two real animal-related murder cases reminiscent of Ace Ventura.

In this more playful Shortcide episode, Bailey and Chelsea take a funny nod at one of the greatest animal-detective movies ever while covering two real cases that feel like they were made for Ace Ventura himself. First, we head to India, where a parrot allegedly helped identify a killer, because apparently the key witness had feathers and a flair for drama. Then we travel to 1930s Australia for the infamous shark arm case, where a shark at an aquarium coughed up human evidence and turned a day at the exhibit into a full-blown murder mystery. Buckle up buttercups. It's a whole lot.
