Episode 157: Hooters, Snakes, & Navy SEALs (Killer Couple: Erika & Benjamin Sifrit)


 

Being a marriage counselor is a tough job.

I imagine the married couple Erika & BJ would tell very different stories to their couples vacation.

BJ would say that he fell asleep in the car while his wife went into a hotel room with a couple they just met. He was heartbroken and devastated when he found out what she had done.

Erika would argue that BJ was there the whole time - in fact, he wanted her to take pictures of him with the couple’s decapitated heads.

Only, they weren’t talking to a counselor but the police.
