Like so many others, they hatched their plot at a bar. Meeting on a work trip, Harley Adsit, a staffer for Georgia Republican Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter, and Sarah Geary, a media manager at Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, found themselves hitting it off, talking about podcasts and their media-adjacent jobs over drinks.
As the August sun set and the last rays of daylight faded away, their conversation turned similarly dark. Their colleagues, buzzed and buzzing all around them, were unaware of the sinister shift as the pair admitted to one another they shared another love: murder.
“We were talking about our mutual love of true crime,” is how Adsit put it a year later, after they released more than a dozen episodes of their “Crime in Congress” podcast.
