It's a wild mystery, leaving police forces fighting with each other over the truth!!

#497 - The Serial Killing Nerd - Bridgeport, Pennsylvania
This week, in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, when a young woman is brutally carved up in her own home, police insist there must be a link to her playing Dungeons & Dragons, which must have led to the occult. The case goes cold, until another member of the same D&D circle, and her family, is also murdered. The attention falls on one man, who was in love with both of the women & might be a serial killer. He has a wild story to tell!! Along the way, we find out that "affordable" carnivals might not be the safest family fun option, that Dungeons & Dragons isn't a game where people ACTUALLY murder each other, and that you should never save your murder mementos to wear while you hand out candy on Halloween!!

#494 - Gossip & Brain Bashing - Cherryville, North Carolina
This week, in Cherryville, North Carolina, multiple couples are beaten to death, in their own homes, in as brutal a way possible. This sends the town into hysterics, with burglar alarms, and guns, flying off the shelves. Gossip, and police pressure drive one suspect to madness, but he turns out to be innocent. The real killer was hiding in plain sight, with so much evil bubbling under the surface, that no one would have believed it, if they knew!! Along the way, we find out that shooting off your musket is a wild way to ring in the New Year, that enough gossip can actually cause its own kind of reality, and that when someone tells you that they like to watch people die, in agony... believe them!!

This new tenant has a cray past, and present, because she is a meth smoking, pill popping, booze swilling maniac, with an estranged husband, living behind a Wal Mart. Problems arise with the roommates, resulting in a most heartless, and brutal murder. But was it the roommate, or her abusive husband? Secret recordings answer it all!! Along the way, we find out that there is a birthplace of sweet tea, that you shouldn't invite people home from rehab to live with you, that when your husband lives behind a Wal Mart, anything is possible!!

#491 - Sibling Death Rivalry - Kalamazoo Township, Michigan
This week, in Kalamazoo Township, Michigan, when bodies start to be found all over the place, no could have predicted that this was two brothers, in some kind of competition with each other, but it may be just that. Two brothers, both serial killers, but not together, and they kill for much different motives. A crazy tale, involving serial killing, strange name changes... and a chimpanzee!! Along the way, we find out that you shouldn't get drunk, and start naming things, that you shouldn't ever mess with the "human/chimp bond", and that just because your brother kills 5 people, it doesn't mean you should, too!!

#490 - Hot Tub Horrors - Hot Springs, Montana
This week, in Hot Springs, Montana, a simple night of some cousins, getting together to drink, and enjoy the natural hot tubs turns into a horrific killing of one of the cousins, by another. This seemingly unprovoked, and brutal killing truly puzzles the whole family. Especially, since this murder has an even more unexpected, and brutal cherry on top. It's a very strange man, committing an even stranger murder!! Along the way, we find out that apparently Spanish baroque music is popular in the western mountains, that when someone, who isn't a doctor, tells you to "drop your swim trunks & turn around" you might be in a lot of trouble, and that a terrible murder is never just someone making a big deal out of nothing!!

#489 - Psycho Stepmom - Edgerton, Kansas
This week, in Edgerton, Kansas, a wild family dynamic leads to fighting, insults, bad feelings, and eventually a dastardly murder plot, from the person you'd least expect. As cruel & brutal as it was, it was almost the perfect crime, but when the body is stumbled upon, the whole web of lies comes crumbling down, turning a mother against her son, and a daughter against her mother. The whole thing is just a huge mess, and as crazy a story you'll ever find!! Along the way, we find out that everybody has a "Frontier Days" festival, that when your mother tells you that someone has to die, you don't have much choice, and that love & a refusal to accept reality can apparently conquer all, including the murder of your son!!
