Program Description

Event Details

Welcome to Crime & Coffee!

Do you like TRUE CRIME!? Do you fall into "who dunnit" rabbit holes!? Do you want to meet fellow true crime lovers!?

If you answered yes, then you have come to the right place...

At this time, Crime & Coffee will meet once a month to discuss individual true crime cases and the theories surrounding them.

The case topics will be announced in advance. Attendees will then be able to dive into the case to prepare for the meet up. Digital access to the case topic can be found virtually anywhere: podcasts, documentaries, articles, books, etc. All the cases will be well known in order to ensure enough free information is readily available to you.

Please feel free to bring dinner/snacks for yourself or even to share. We will be providing the coffee. We hope to see you there!

Disclaimer: This is an adult only group. This group will discuss sensitive topics that may not be suitable for everyone. Attendee discretion is advised.

At our June meetup, we will be discussing the case of Laci Peterson. Laci Denise Peterson was an American woman murdered by her husband, Scott Lee Peterson, while eight months pregnant with their first child. The case has remained a subject of public interest and discussion, raising questions about the legal process and media coverage.
