A scammer told Emma Doran he was in her bed last night before hanging up.
The episode begins with hosts Hannah George and Taylor Glenn promoting their live tour and introducing the show's format of solving crimes while drinking. They welcome guest Emma Doran, who arrives late and shares two personal crime experiences: a neighbor left a threatening note on her car using a toilet roll holder, and she received a scam phone call where the scammer claimed to have been in her bed. The conversation touches on themes of consent and generational differences. The hosts then transition to a true crime case set in 1980s Florida, focusing on Boca del Mar. They describe how the area became wealthy from cocaine trade and was targeted by a burglar. Through a series of questions to the audience and guest, they reveal the burglar was Judy Amar, a woman who disguised herself as a real estate agent using wigs. Judy used real estate listings to plan burglaries, ignored alarms, and timed crimes during police lunch breaks. Her methods included stealing cars and escaping through secret exits. She was eventually caught after getting stuck in a cat flap but continued burgling the same day. Judy was arrested in a sting operation, served 10 years in prison for stealing over $6 million, and later became a security consultant. The episode ends with a listener named Kate sharing a crime about a woman threatened at a horse racecourse, followed by promotions for Emma Doran's work and the podcast's credits.
