Episode Details

It’s Christmas week, y’all! And we know nobody has the emotional bandwidth for a heavy true crime case while you’re wrapping presents, hiding from relatives, or trying to keep your kids from shaking every gift under the tree.

So today, we’re bringing you true crime… animal edition.

In this special holiday episode, Tyrella tells Nikita four real (yes, real!) cases where animals were the unexpected offenders or witnesses:

• The drunk raccoon who broke into a liquor store
• The REAL Cocaine Bear
• The parrot who repeated what may have been a murder confession — and why animal “testimony” can’t be used in court
• The prison cats caught smuggling drugs and phones past guards

We will be back next week with our normal true crime stories! Merry Christmas, ya'll!
