#563 - The Major Murders - Pembroke, Kentucky
This week, in Pembroke, Kentucky, a very murderous evening, that leaves three people dead, including two of them being burned to cinders, leads investigators down a rabbit hole. The main suspect is an Army vet airline pilot, who insists it was his bigamist ex-wife, who was trying to frame him, but he's been in other trouble, including accusations of abuse & having classified documents. Will a shell casing & a dog tag be enough to convict him?? Along the way, we find out that these small town festivals love a local band, that a shell casing that matches your gun seems to be pretty decent evidence, and that the bigger the crime, the more you claim it's a conspiracy against you!!
