Summary
Toby: I was actually selected to be a juror on a very high-profile case. Michael: Yes, the case of the horrible red-headed sad sack. And the verdict, it was Toby. And the sentence, death. Death to Toby! Dwight: Death to Toby! This week it’s True Crime on The Office! We’re joined by friend of the show and investigative genetic genealogist Cairenn Binder! Cairenn gives us an introduction into investigative genetic genealogy and how she got into the field, and then we dive into some true crime moments on The Office! We discuss the Drug Testing, the Scranton Strangler, and other places where true crime intersects with the show. She also tells us how we (and you) can contribute to solving crimes through her field, and then to close out the show she asks us some hard-hitting questions she’s always wanted to ask us! What’s my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight... Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!
