#358 - The Not So Missing Spouse - Canton Township, Michigan
This week, in Canton Township, Michigan, we encounter maybe the strangest & creepiest relationship origin stories of all time. This relationship produces an unhappy marriage, and much fighting. Then, it gets even weirder, as one of this couple has an affair with the person who their teenage kid was dating. This leads to crazy, underwear clad arguments, and someone going missing for 3 and a half years, causing a huge regional mystery, and the eventual grisly discovery of the body, in a most unlikely place! Pure weird!! Along the way, we find out that this town had a very hard time picking out a name, that 10th grade biology class isn't a nightclub, and that once someone has been murdered, getting rid of them is definitely the best course of action!!

#357 - Crushed Skulls & Missing Golf Clubs - Prescott, Arizona
This week, in Prescott, Arizona, a very smart, successful couple make a very nice life for themselves, in a wonderful custom built home. Eventually, 17 affairs cause them to separate, and divorce. Once everything is final, all seems fine, until one of them is on the phone, and the words "oh no" are said, followed by the line going dead. A terribly bumbling investigation of the bloody & horrific crime scene follows, complete with awful police work. Footprints, tire tracks & DNA only confuse the whole thing. Will anyone ever pay for this terrible murder?? Along the way, we find out that anyone can be in the rodeo, that a gun & a flashlight aren't enough to make grown man confident enough to look into a bloody house, and that DNA under the nails doesn't exactly mean that you have your killer!!

#356 - The Projection Transfer Theory - La Grande, Oregon
This week, in La Grande, Oregon, a man threatens to cut a woman's head off during a conversation at a local bar. By the end of the night, a different woman, who looks very much like the first woman, is found dead, with her head nearly removed with a hatchet. When this man is interrogated, the local police do some of the strangest, most hilarious, and just plain terrible questioning that leads to a confession, using a technique known as "projection transfer", and told the suspect that he just might be a magical person! Along the way, we find out that not all music festivals are created equal, that you shouldn't threaten decapitations in public, and that if you know where the murder hatchet is, you probably used it to murder!!

#355 - Prove Yourself With Blood - Fletcher, Vermont
This week, in Fletcher, Vermont, a very manipulative man, likened to Charles Manson, and Hitler by a psychiatrist, seems to be able to get anyone to do anything he wants. That includes a young lady, who he manipulates into killing a man that she used to see, out of pure jealousy. This fits right into his character, as he also lured someone into cold blooded murder at his own hands. He even seems to be able to manipulate the legal system, for the most part, but will he finally get what's coming to him?? Along the way, we find out that syrup needs ambassadors, that some people just know how to talk to people, and that if you're going to have your girlfriend kill someone, don't then have sex with her, while a house full of cops listen in, trying to get evidence on you!!

#354 - Need Any Ostriches? - Sequim, Washington
This week, in Sequim, Washington, a wild scene unfolds with the backdrop of drug dealing, boat sinking, karate weapons, and many ostriches & emus running around. One day, the man at the center of all this strangeness calls 911 at 4am, claiming that his friend/business partner has just killed himself, after killing the first man's wife. Evidence doesn't quite back that up, with out of place blood spatter, and even more out of place gravel. The whole thing gets really crazy at trial, when this man fights to represent himself to fight the death penalty!! Along the way, we find out that apparently lavender warrants an entire weekend of celebration, that it's very hard to knock yourself out, then shoot yourself, and that ostriches probably can't plan a murder!!

#353 - Olivia Newton John Must Die - Lake Arthur, Louisiana
This week, in Lake Arthur, Louisiana, when five people are found, slaughtered in two different homes, only doors apart, there is only one suspect. He's related to all the dead people, and he's a little strange to put it mildly. He claims to have been married at age 7, and was transformed into God. He also paints his hands blue, has a strange obsession with television sets, and stalks Olivia Newton John, because he believes she is trapped under Lake Arthur, and making his bed move, while he tries to sleep. And that's not even half of his overall crazy! Along the way, we find out that some people have it in for ladies named "Sandy", that your eyebrows probably aren't blocking oxygen to your brain, and once you're stark raving barking mad, there really is no "getting sane"!!

#352 - The Body On The Hill - Milpitas, California
This week, in Milpitas, California, a local group of teenagers known as "The Stoners" get together, and do exactly what you think they'd do. Until one day, when one of the group brutalizes another, and dumps the body into a ravine. Afterwards, the murderer starts taking other people out to see the body, while bragging about how the murder occurred. Over a dozen kids come out to look, poke the body with a stick, and even steal a radio station's patch off her discarded jeans. It's cold blooded & mind boggling, but finally someone tells the police! Along the way, we find out that this area has a very crispy smell, that you shouldn't bring your 8 year old brother to see a corpse, and that somehow, some people can be even more cold blooded after they commit the actual murder!

#351 - The Murder Dance - Section, Alabama
This week, in Section, Alabama, way up in the hills, a mountain man feels tragedy after his wife is brutally killed, being found buried on a hillside, leaving him with a young son. Luckily for him, he's able to pick up the pieces, and even remarry, not long after. But then that wife disappears, too. The suspicions from his first wife's death resurface, as his 2nd wife is never found. The problem was that this backwoods locale even scares investigators, who were hesitant to poke around in such a rural area, where there are always eyes on you!! Along the way, we find out that some beards have nothing to do with fashion, that things are done a little differently up in these hills, and that when you kill one wife, shame on you, but kill two wives... shame on us!!

#350 - The CSI Effect - Collinsville, Virginia
This week, in Collinsville, Virginia, when a brother & sister pair decide to share a house, the whole family senses trouble, especially since one of them digs holes, in the middle of the night, while always keeping a large outdoor fire going. When one of them disappears, it becomes a huge mystery, with dogs sniffing all over the county. But when the murderer finally admits to doing it, they then make one of the craziest attempt at suicide, in history. This is followed by a process of finding the many pieces of the body, in some odd places, because the killer was obsessed with CSI! This one starts crazy, and just gets crazier!! Along the way, we find out that dragons aren't real, that antifreeze probably tastes disgusting, and that no matter how much CSI you watch, it's hard to commit the perfect murder!!
