Michigan Murders & Music

Join us on "Michigan Murders and Music" for a true crime road trip with a twist.

Picture this: you're cruising across Michigan with two of your wildest, most entertaining friends. At every stop, they've got a local true crime story to tell you.

Our mission is to explore these dark tales while staying laser-focused on the perpetrator, honoring the victims and their families by not sensationalizing their pain. On our special UNSOLVED episodes, we will occasionally focus more on the victim to help generate new leads and find answers.

And because no road trip is complete without a great playlist, every episode ends with a hand-picked song by a legendary Michigan band.

We guarantee a dark story and leave you with a happy ending—all in one trip.

This episode explores the strange, unsettling, and often misunderstood case of Rose Verez, a woman whose life and death became tangled in rumor, fear, and small‑town superstition. The hosts guide listeners through the events leading up to her murder, the bizarre accusations that swirled around her, and the community tensions that turned an already tragic case into something even darker.

With their signature blend of empathy, sharp storytelling, and Michigan‑flavored humor, the hosts unpack how Rose — labeled by some as a “witch” — became the target of suspicion and cruelty long before the crime itself. They examine the investigation, the motives that emerged, and the heartbreaking reality behind the myths that grew around her name. The tone stays grounded and respectful, focusing on the human story rather than the sensational rumors that overshadowed it.

After the true‑crime deep dive, the episode shifts into its musical spotlight, featuring The Picasso’s
