Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host Ashley Flowers. And I'm Brit. And today's episode is going to be very different. Yes. This is a bonus episode because I just need to talk about what I just watched. Um, so badly that you texted me, Alyssa. My sister and Kate who works here. Who works here? Uh, I like nine o'clock at night after nine and said I'm nine 20 bucks. My evangelical gals. All caps. Did the Lord magically sink her phone? OMG, I'll believe in God again. If he redirects all his energy out to out dirty pastors. And Alyssa goes, what are you talking about? And then you disregard that question. And I was into JP arrived at the scene. The pastor's wife on Netflix and she goes, stop. I haven't watched it yet. I also hadn't watched it, but I was like, Oh my God, I know this case. This is the Mike and Miller case. I the pastor's wife just dropped on Netflix. I stayed up to like it's like the death of the pastor's wife. Cause like the actual title or something. So this is the story of Mike and Miller who is alleged to have. Taken her own life in April of 2024. Like I stayed up, binged it to like midnight. It was a school night. Yes. Everyone else is apparently like going to going to bed. But I could not look away. This case is unbelievable. And I know it's what everyone is talking about. So many of the crime guys are talking about it. I want to just have a discussion about everything that was in this documentary and also I couldn't help myself. I in 24 hours have just gone on a rampage on the internet and found everything that I think the documentary also left out. Okay. So I just want to, I want to talk to my best friend about this doc. Especially because like this case feels very close to home because you and I both grew up together in an evangelical non-denominational church. It so there was a lot here that was like familiar and terrifying. Yeah. It was the best way to just go trigger warning to my evangelical gals and also spoiler alert to anyone who hasn't watched this. So you can either trust me, even if you stay here, you're going to want to go see this for yourself or you can go watch it and come back. But let's just enough. I just want to dive in.
