There's a link in the show notes, too.

Okay, here we go.

Welcome to Criminal Plus.

I'm Phoebe Judge.

I'm Lauren Sporer.

And Lauren, I have been wearing a jacket and long underwear all day today.

In North Carolina.

The heat has been broken in my house for the past five days.

I don't think that I have, my body temperature has gotten above 72 in a week.

I'm freezing cold.

Where's the repair?

I feel like when a state that isn't prepared for cold weather has a spell of cold weather, crisis and chaos pops up at every corner.

And to get someone here, it's like you're asking someone to build the Empire State Building.

We're trying to get someone here, but it is freezing cold, which is why I have been wearing a jacket for a week.

Lauren, I can't believe I didn't tell you about this story.
