Welcome to Crime Crackers, a true crime book club like you've never seen before. Instead of discussing one book, we will provide multiple resources about each case. You get to choose how you want to consume the case, then join Liz and other true crime enthusiasts to discuss it and see if we can crack it! Bring along any information that you've found, and let's compare!

This month we will discuss the 1947 murder of Walter and Beulah Overell in Newport Beach Harbor, Los Angeles, California. This contentious case went to trial, but a verdict of not guilty was returned.
