ABOUT THIS EPISODE
For our first true crime episode, Maddie tells Leslie the story of the harrowing crimes of Ray and Faye Copeland, the oldest couple ever sentenced to death in America, and the rumored inspiration behind Ti West's 2022 horror film "X."

The five victims that they were convicted of killing were:
- Dennis K. Murphy, 27, of Normal, Illinois; born in 1962 and killed October 17, 1986
- Wayne Warner of Bloomington, Illinois; killed November 19, 1986
- Jimmy Dale Harvey, 27 of Springfield, Missouri; born in 1961 and killed October 25, 1988
- John W. Freeman, 27 of Boonville, Indiana; born January 6, 1962 and killed December 8, 1988
- Paul J. Cowart, 20 of Dardanelle, Arkansas; born September 30, 1968, and killed May 3 or 4, 1989
It's important that we remember them for more than how their lives were ended; namely for their kindness and as more than victims of the Copelands.
