#386 - Cheers To My Killer - Whitewood, South Dakota
This week, in Whitewood, South Dakota, a crumbling relationship is certainly not helped by a five year affair, but everything looks like it will work out just fine. Until, one night, when one of the pair is left with a gaping chest wound, and the other is left with quite a tale to tell. Including a wild night, complete with hot tub violence. Was it self defense, or a cold blooded, premeditated murder?? Along the way, we find out that you don't want to kick a service animal out of your restaurant, that violence is in the eye of the beholder, and that you should always raise a glass to the person who is about to kill you!!

#385 - Lust, Blood, Cruelty & Snakes - Lothian, Maryland
This week, in Lothian, Maryland, what appears to a horrifically bloody, but pretty standard murder/suicide, until some very strange evidence comes to light, followed by some kinky evidence... Then, text messages that blow the lid off the entire plot. A cruel, disturbing & calculating plan begins to emerge. One that manipulates some very vulnerable people, and ends up with a double murder, and three people almost getting away with it! Along the way, we find out that Mutton Bustin' has no borders, that strange pets seem to breed strange murders, and that you don't mess with a biker chick... even in her sleep!!

#384 - Dismembering Grandma - Trail Creek, Indiana
This week, in Trail Creek, Indiana, an unhappy woman uses her teenage sons as her her personal murder squad, forcing them to kill both their father, and grandmother. They almost get away with it, too, considering they almost did a perfect job of disposing of grandma, using everything from a chainsaw, to a deep fat fryer to try get rid of the body. Where they finally end up getting rid of the remaining parts is certainly one for the record books! A truly insane case!! Along the way, we find out that hanging out in the "blistering cold" doesn't sound very festive, that you can talk a teenager into any horrible plan you might have, and going AWOL from the Navy to try to help dispose of your grandmother's dismembered corpse is not a great decision!!

#383 - The Brutality Of Strawberry Shortcake - West Wendover, Nevada
This week, in West Wendover, Nevada, a smart, popular high school student vanishes into thin air, and a huge team of volunteers begin to look for her. When she's found, the scene is so terrible, that even the most seasoned detectives have nightmares. As the case unravels, police wonder why this happened, and think her ex-boyfriend is the culprit... but did he do it alone?? These questions haunt everyone involved, until two startling, but different confessions put the whole thing into perspective!! Along the way, we find out that slam poetry is for cowboys, too, that just because you break up with someone, doesn't mean that you won't have to see them again, and that love can cause confessions!!

#382 - Who Tasted The Blood? - Salem, New Hampshire
This week, in Salem, New Hampshire, three drifting young men decide to murder some young women, after extensive viewings of the movie "Scream", and a healthy binging of meth & booze. Their plan turns out to be tragically successful, after luring two teenagers to the local hangout spot, and committing some unforgivably brutal acts. Will they make a clean escape, or end up huddled in the attic of a cabin, while police close in?? Along the way, we find out that New Hampshire really wants you to think they have an american stonehenge, that teen horror movies characters may not be the best people to emulate, and that who did the stabbing actually does matter!!

#381 - Hunting The Home Hermit - Caledon, Ontario, Canada
This week, in Caledon, Ontario, Canada, an odd man, who is described as a loner, with a foul odor, closes his antique shop, to spend his time living in an attic, when he's not living in the woods. He also finds time to go on a crime spree that earns him several nicknames. A nice couple ends up dead, and the police race against time to try to find him, after he's kidnaped several women, and may be holding them, alive!! It's a nail biter, and just a really strange tale, about a really strange man!! Along the way, we find out that Canadians are patriotic about anything Canadian, that when a man's odor can give away his location at 50 yards, it might be time to bathe, and that you can't root any harder than when police are actually racing to save several lives!!

#380 - The Atomic Wedgie Killer - McLoud, Oklahoma
This week, in McLoud, Oklahoma, easily the strangest murder that we've ever covered occurs, when a biker & his step son decide to get together, to drink copious amounts of booze, and hang out, even though they're currently in the middle of a war of words, over several disagreements. First of all, does the step son owe thousands of dollars in trailer rent? Also, whether the stepson, and his mother, are "worthless" & "sorry" as accused by the stepfather. Who will win this escalating battle?? Along the way, we find out that you don't even have to grow blackberries to be the "blackberry capital of the world", that bikers seem to take trailer rent very seriously, and that you can't strangle a man with his own underwear "by accident"!!

#379 - The Satanic Corporate Ladder - Brandenburg, Kentucky
This week, in Brandenburg, Kentucky, a very strange tale unfolds, when a young woman takes a walk down the street, and disappears. When she is found, murdered horribly, attention immediately focuses on her boyfriend, and his best friend, who claim they were just drinking beer, and searching the trailer for a missing snake. This turns into massive, and epic tale, complete with a detective, going to jail! You don't want to miss a minute of this one!! Along the way, we find out that there are pageants for all ages at the county fair, that you can convict people with very little evidence, and that even the most trusted people can't always be trusted!!

#378 - The Open Marriage Blues - Niantic, Connecticut
This week, in Niantic, Connecticut, a swinging couple leads a very normal life, to the outside world, but definitely gets freaky on the weekends. While the husband is away on a fishing trip, the wife is horribly murdered, leaving a dark, nasty crime scene. The case goes cold until some new evidence comes to light, leading police to use some shaky science to try to figure out how the husband could maybe have been in two places at once! Along the way, we find out that we don't want to eat scallops out of a river, that just seeing a movie, doesn't mean that you'll automatically reenact the plot, and that small air conditioners definitely can't make a room 40 degrees!!

#377 - A Deadly Love Hexagon - Hope, Alaska
This week, in Hope, Alaska, seemingly every man in the state is after one young lady. A transplant, from New Orleans, by way of an attempted New York modeling career, who is currently the star dancer at the biggest strip club in town. At one point, she's engaged to at least 3 men, at once. This all leads to a horrible, and inevitable murder, with a very specific weapon, making it easier to narrow down suspects. This one turns into a giant mess, so make sure to listen until the end!! Along the way, we find out that we need bathrooms, to call something a vacation, that you shouldn't live with your fiance, and her fiance, and that if someone is killed near a tree, and nobody hears it...
