#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 week, in Horn Lake, Mississippi, the neighborhood is woken up by a series of explosions, in a house. The fire causes the terrible & painful death of a woman. It's ruled an accident, but some investigation reveals a sinister plot, from the most trusted person in the victim's life. From there, detectives find even more murder plots, and a web of lies, involving everyone from crackheads, to the murderer's children!! Along the way, we find out that rivers can change course at will, that you REALLY need to trust someone before you make them your insurance beneficiary, and that once you start one fire, you apparently just can't stop!!

#492 - Murder Moves In - Summerville, South Carolina
This week, in Summerville, South Carolina, two women meet in rehab, and one invites the other to live at her house, rent free. 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!!

#488 - Write It In Blood - Price, Utah
This week, in Price, Utah, a mysterious man, in a multi colored hat terrorizes the town, when he tries to abduct a young girl, gets chased off, and ends up horribly murdering a woman, while her young daughter looked through a key hole. Police are forced to let the suspect go, but later on, with help from the now grown daughter, they notice something very incriminating, written in blood! But how many more dead young women are out there?? Along the way, we find out that bears are definitely an issue, when walking through mountains, that you maybe shouldn't wear your most identifiable clothing when committing terrible crimes, and that it's very odd to take a picture of a child, in a room full of her mother's blood!

This week, in Radford, Virginia, when a young lady goes out to dance, she meets a good looking guy, with a very dark past, that she knows nothing about. By morning, she's missing, and the whole area searches for her with no luck. Once blood is found, the investigation heats up with more detectives, psychics & tracker dogs, but she is nowhere to be found. Will this charming young man be charged, even though there's no body? And how many more bodies are out there?? Along the way, we find out that you don't fight a guy who wears a kilt, that just because there's no body, doesn't mean there isn't a crime, and that you can't tell a serial killer by their cover!!

This week, in, Long Branch, New Jersey, a respected woman is murdered, in the street, as people from a nearby restaurant hear her screams, all while her cop husband rushes to the scene. Was it just a robbery? Or was it an intricate plot, with many dismissed alternate murder plans, that ended up in this awful & vicious killing? In the end, we get a recorded call, between the killers, explaining the whole sordid tale! Along the way, we find out that we don't need clowns at the beach, that if you're a 43 year old married man, it's going to be trouble to date a 20 year old woman, and that if you actually do the stabbing, you definitely have to go to prison!!
