Is it a sin? Is it a crime? Love and you do like I do.

If it's a crime, then I'm guilty. Guilty of love and you.

Hi, welcome to Criminal Broads, a true crime and history podcast about wild women on the wrong side of the law.

I'm Tori Telfer, your host and today we have the type of story that's going to make you want to punch a hole in your wall. So buckle up.

Before I tell you about it, I actually have another sister anecdote to read to you.

Remember how we did sister month and we learned all about different types of sisters ranging from heroic to spooky and I asked for sister anecdotes.

Well, I received one from Carrie Ann who has an anecdote about her half sister though she says she doesn't even consider herself half sisters with her sister, but she just wants to throw that in there to show how deep their connection is.

Okay, so here's what Carrie Ann says. She says we grew up in a house with a long row of forcitya bushes lining along our property line.

When I was about nine or ten years old, my neighbors brought over a Ouija board and we huddled under the bushes which formed a long tunnel.

While playing, we asked if any of us would be hurt that summer. It moved to yes and at that very second my sister ran out of the house screaming that she had just sliced open her leg.

She was not playing with us, was nowhere near us, and no one would have had any idea she was just injured.

I never played with a Ouija again.

Oh sister, sisters, something spooky is going on with sisters. Am I right guys?

All right, if you have any more spooky sister anecdotes, you can always email them. I feel like I will just throw them in whenever I get them because sisters. Am I right?

Oh, one more thing I keep me need to tell you when I keep forgetting. If you've been here listening from the beginning or if you've listened to my whole back catalog, do you remember Tilly Divine?

We're sort of obsessed with her. She's a crime queen in Sydney, Australia in the 1930s, 1920s through 40s basically.

And she had this arch nemesis and they were rivals and tried to see who could own the most pomeranians.

Anyway, I received an Instagram message from Tilly Divine's relative. Isn't that cool? I just want to share that with you.

It was really cool to hear from her and I'm glad you reached out and if you don't know what I'm talking about, go listen to episode 12 because it's a pretty rollicking one.

Unlike the one we're going to talk about today.

Okay, today's episode was requested by my nearest and dearest, my cousin Molly, who lives in St. Louis, which is where some of this or this action takes place around that part of the country.

Molly, I love you. Molly's getting engaged in is getting married in October and I can't wait to go to that wedding. It's going to be my first post pandemic wedding and I cannot wait to eat appetizers and dance.
