This week, in Chunchula, Alabama, a charming, handsome, and remorseless serial killer works his way across the south, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.

#439 - Did The Dog Do It? - Dillsboro, Indiana
This week, in Dillsboro, Indiana, when a very tough, but gentle man is allegedly murdered... by his dog, police are suspicious of the story. Detectives are even more suspicious, when they find a coffin sized box, on the property, that the man's wife won't let police search. The question is, was he a nice, gentle man, who was brutally murdered, or did he push her to the brink with his "constant nudity"? Along the way, we find out that it's difficult to cross breed a frog with a golden retriever, that if you handle alligators with your bare hands, you're pretty tough, and that you can't just blame everything on your dog!
