#434 - A Nearly Headless Horror Scene - Pemberton, West Virginia
This week, in Pemberton, West Virginia, a crazy day in a neighborhood of trailers, starting with one man, snorting pills & drinking cheap whiskey, before noon. He ends up at an odd "party", where he gets into an argument, over an alleged debt owed for a semi strip dance that was performed. Next thing you know, the murderer doesn't even remember the brutal way that they almost beheaded their victim, with a buck knife, then continued stabbing! Along the way, we find out that trails that you pay to ride, are not "outlaw trails", that if someone is doing any kind of strip dance for you, you should expect to pay them, and that you shouldn't drink your whiskey by the liter!!

Then, it gets even worse, as he continues to elude the law, terrorizing, and murdering even more!! Along the way, we find out that chili festivals in Connecticut are kept a tight secret, that if you see someone attacking someone else with a samurai sword, you shouldn't get in the middle, and that if you don't sleep for a week, you may start to see cartoon characters!!

This week, in Elko, Nevada, a ranch hand, who everyone calls "Turkey", with a shady history goes missing, and everyone thinks he just took off. Until he's found face down in a river. The evidence says he's been there for a while, and all leads back to a local couple, who may have been collecting people's insurance policies for future murders! But is there enough evidence to actually get a conviction?? Along the way, we find out that there are rules to where a brothel can operate, that transient robbers wouldn't neatly put your wallet back in your pocket, and that there are some things that you shouldn't tell your sister in law!!

This results in one of the strangest marriages, that causes much drama within the family. One day, it explodes in a frenzy of violence, and some of the most ridiculous escape attempts, ever, super casual police work, and a family destroyed!

#430 - Naked Aggression & Vicious Violence - Paducah, Kentucky
This week, in Paducah, Kentucky, a wild affair turns into an even wilder relationship, with countless stories of strange behavior, including drunkenly running around an RV park, while naked, then attacking the responding cop with a steel rod, and stabbings that almost cause death. This leads to a terribly bloody murder, with neighbors standing by, listening, and an excuse that doesn't quite hold water! Along the way, we find out that Paducah is apparently full of aggressive ghosts, that the best way to start a relationship maybe isn't having someone offer to sell you that person, and some judges may not actually have a firm grasp of the law!!

#429 - A Clean Cut Serial Killer - Manhattan, Montana
This week, in Manhattan, Montana, a series of disappearances don't seem to raise any red flags for the local police. Finally, after the fourth victim goes missing, the FBI decide that it just may be what will soon be known to them as a "serial killer", and put together their first ever criminal profile, which turns to fit one particular person, perfectly. Will they be able to get him to confess, using many different tactics? Along the way, we find out that Montana is very into potatoes, that being "a little bit odd" is reason for suspicion in Montana, and that some people hide their bloodlust better than others!

#428 - Weak Motives & Wilderness Gangsters - Palmer, Alaska
This week, in Palmer, Alaska, a teenager, with a good future, heads to hang out with an old friend, and classmate, but never makes hit home. The whole area searches frantically, but when the teenager is finally found, it's worse than anyone could have thought. This senseless killing makes even less sense, when the facts come out, and the motive seems clouded in mystery!! Along the way, we find out that Alaska grows cabbages that could be used as murder weapons, that smoking a little weed certainly doesn't make you eligible to be murdered, and that it's rare for an equal amount of evil to be spread to a whole group of friends!!

#427 - Fat Sam & Crazy Crystal - Lawrenceburg, Tennessee
This week, in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, an unlikely, but deadly situation unfolds, after an absolute bloodbath is discovered. There are many suspects, including a slew of local dirtbags, drug dealers, and even the mafia. But some dark secrets are discovered in a trailer's backyard that lead everything toward one troubled person, who happens to be the least likely suspect of all! Along the way, we find out that adults don't enter pageants around here, that just because you did 30 years in prison for a terrible crime, it doesn't automatically make you bloodthirsty, and that once you admit to putting a knife in a dead person's hand, and hiding the evidence, you don't have much of a chance in court!

#426 - The Chief, The Floozie & The Church Lady - Lyons, Nebraska
This week, in Lyons, Nebraska, the new woman in town seems to be a non drinking, moralistic church person, until it's revealed that there's also an affair with her neighbor, the Chief of the town's police force, ever since they met at a bar. When one of them ends up dead, naked, and in a field, a manhunt takes place, leading to appearances on Unsolved Mysteries & America's Most Wanted. But will any of this be enough to solve this crazy case? Along the way, we find out that a lot of people who live in Nebraska are from Iowa, that being the Chief of Police doesn't excuse you from being the subject of a murder investigation, and you never want to be known by all your neighbors as just "The Floozie"!!
