This Christmas Eve, Love Murder takes a break from the darkest cases for a festive tour of holiday crimes gone spectacularly wrong—from snowman hit-and-runs and chimney burglars to rogue Santas, porch-pirate revenge, a Christmas parade police chase, and a man who spread holiday cheer by handing out free weed at Buffalo Wild Wings. One death, a lot of instant karma, and proof that even the holidays can get weird.Sources:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/petersburg-kentucky-vandals-try-to-plow-down-giant-snowman-hit-tree-stump/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jesse-berube-criminal-santa-stuck-chimney-during-burglary-attempt-police/https://www.columbian.com/news/2010/feb/23/man-who-got-stuck-in-chimney-is-charged/https://abcnews.go.com/US/ChristmasCountdown/story?id=4016199&page=1https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bank-robber-tosses-cash-in-the-air-saying-merry-christmas/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/man-fakes-heart-attack-so-friend-can-steal-toys-at-florida-wal-mart/https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/pennsylvania-man-dupes-christmas-package-thieves-with-boxes-filled-with-cat-poop/https://www.wistv.com/story/5767894/bond-set-for-driver-in-anderson-christmas-parade-charged-with-dui/https://abc13.com/deer-poacher-ordered-to-repeatedly-watch-bambi/4917544/https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/man-claiming-to-be-santa-claus-arrested-for/1994982/This Week’s Episode Brought To You By:Mint Mobile - Mobile wireless for just $15/mo - http://mintmobile.com/lovemurderShopify - $1 per month trial - http://shopify.com/lovemurderHers - Personalized, affordable plans for weight loss, hair, and anxiety - forhers.com/LOVEMURDERSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
