This week Beth and Wendy discuss Baljit Singh Buttar, who went by the nickname Bal. He was a member of an Indo-Canadian gang in the Vancouver area of British Columbia, and it’s unknown how many people he killed, but more than one!


We dive into the setting (09:29), the killers early life (25:32) and the timeline (28:23). Then, we get into "Where are they now?" (49:05) followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (51:02).  


As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered (57:07) and our shout outs (59:22). 


Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop every Thursday, so until next time... look alive guys, it's crazy out there!
