Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna dig into the Twitter account known as Gerard Courcy AKA @Hardcorehangout. We question if Gerard is a real person or bot in this peek into artificial intelligence use on social media. We also look at his tweets about Gabby Petito and the Idaho 4 cases and ask if it's possible that Gerard has inside sources.

Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna have the pleasure of speaking for the first time with former homicide detective, turned full-time author after retiring from a 30-year law enforcement career, John Wesley Anderson. John joins to discuss his excellent new book, LOU AND JONBENÉT: A Legendary Lawman's Quest To Solve A Child Beauty Queen's Murder. Lou is Lou Smit, John’s friend and legendary homicide detective. Needing investigative help, the Boulder DA brought Lou in, however, he was soon disenchanted with law enforcement’s obsession with the Ramsey family as the primary suspects, excluding other possibilities. What follows is years and years of misinformation, unaccounted for evidence and a media driven narrative.  Buy and leave a review of John's book: https://a.co/d/1m7QG5i For more on John, including speaking engagements: https://wildbluepress.com/john-wesley-anderson-bio/ To help the Smit Family continue to investigate JonBenét's murder: https://www.gofundme.com/f/JonBe
