Want to Know More ? We cover all things creepy .
Summer Schmidt and Jennifer Van Wey are Civil Case Managers at DeKalb State Court – and best friends . Besides supporting their judges , they love coffee - and true crime . “ We were terrified by the stories on Dateline and America ’ s Most Wanted but wanted to know more .” Their past careers in criminal law - Schmidt is a former criminal bailiff , and Van Wey worked in the Criminal Clerk ’ s and District Attorney ’ s office – magnified their fascination with obscure , macabre , and paranormal stories that they discussed over coffee . When the pandemic hit , they took their conversation online – and eventually recorded them .
Do their judges listen to the podcast ? “ They support it , but the content may be a little too graphic for them .”
