A very surprising conclusion is made, leading detectives down a rabbit hole of one man's depravity!

#465 - Chainsaws, Torsos & Murder Tacos - Davenport, Iowa
This week, in Davenport, Iowa, an unhappy woman disappears, without a trace, but it's impossible to tell if she just ran off, or if something terrible has happened to her. When part of a torso, that has been cut up with a chainsaw is found in the river, cops think it's her, but also spread conspiracy theories. Will they be able to convict anyone, with no physical evidence? When we do find out what happened, it involves a murder weapon that we haven't come across yet! Along the way, we find out that chiropractors can be scary, that cops shouldn't randomly float conspiracy theories in the local newspaper, and that someone may very well be playing a game, with a murder weapon!!

The person who ends up having his boat, and money says he was given these things, but not by the missing man... by an imposter! His story is wild, but will DNA, a secret weapon room, and common sense be enough to hold someone responsible?? Along the way, we find out that you need to eat chili when it's ten below zero, outside, that people tend to know their own father's voice, and that the sketch of a suspect, probably shouldn't look like the sketch artist!

This week, in Ashburnham, Massachusetts, a young man attempts to reunite with his high school flame, only to find her to be a much different person than he remembered. She is now a dominatrix, who keeps vials of other people's human blood, along with animal organs, and all sorts of other creepy things. When a cruel & bloody murder takes place, one of them has a story to tell, but it's not likely that anyone will believe them! Along the way, we find out that not all music lineups are created equal, that just because you're lonely, it doesn't mean you should hang out with anyone who is willing, and if you ride a Peloton, you probably won't stumble across a horrbly murdered corpse!!

What could have caused this very close family to explode in violence? Along the way, we find out that we don't want anything to do with "Amish comedy", that there may be such a thing as too close of a fmaily, and that you can only control & monitor someone, so much, before bad results occur!
