Description: Retrospective 2 takes us to the origin of the investigation; where Josh's interest in storytelling evolved into his obsession of needing to know everything. And it started in a surprising place: a bound book of correspondence between two teenage girls and their landlord. What started as comedic found writing, became a mystery that people could not let go. And as Josh made his way through it, while working on TCB, he learned about investigations and their repercussions.This is parts one and two of The Karen & Ellen Letters, Josh's first full-fledged investigation.10th Anniversary Retreathttps://www.bothand.fyi/event-details-registration/ten-year-anniversary-celebrationTROVA TRIP to Galápagos Islandshttps://trovatrip.com/trip/south-america/ecuador/ecuador-with-josh-hallmark-jan-2027TROVA TRIP to Costa Ricahttps://trovatrip.com/trip/central-america/costa-rica/costa-rica-with-josh-hallmark-nov-2026Cast:Sara Stapleton as KarenSara Kitcher as EllenJeff Powell as MarkMatt Peelen as RobSPONSORS• Boll & Branch: BollAndBranch.com/truecrimebs for 20% off.  • Quince: Quince.com/TCBS for free shipping and 356-day returns with code TCBS.  • Schedule35: Schedule35.co with promo code TCBS for 15% off your first order.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-bullsh-the-israel-keyes-investigation--3588169/support.
