Big Grove Brewery1225 S Gilbert StIowa City, IA52240 Map
As the snow begins to fall, and the sugarplums begin to dance, the days also grow shorter...and darker. Like no other time of year, the holiday season is filled with family, fury, and chaos. Join us for an evening of true crime tales of Christmas and beyond, presented by Sarah Cailean. There will be talk of killers, both infamous and obscure cases, and attendees will even get to play trivia and try to win prizes. If you’re into true crime podcasts and TV specials, this is a must-see!
Sarah Cailean is a former police officer and detective who’s now an independent consultant for cold case homicides and disappearances, specializing in cases involving serial predators. She serves as a crime correspondent for HLN, contributes to numerous true crime podcasts, and produces documentaries about cases she is investigating. In addition to her current work as a special investigator with the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, Sarah hosts a series of true crime lecture events all over the country.
Sarah works and researches with the legendary first-generation profilers of the FBI, and has presented at conventions and spoken on panels with John Douglas, Paul Holes, Billy Jensen, Terra Newell, Christopher Darden, Amanda Knox, and many others.
Tickets will be $5 at the door. Doors will open at 5:00pm and the show will begin at 6:00pm. Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis. Our regular food menu and drinks will be available.
