This week, in Donalsonville, Georgia, a strange group of dangerous people escape from a work camp, and end up on a rural farm, looking for gas & money to head to Mexico, in order to "live the good life". Instead, they come upon a large, hardworking, church going, teetotaling farm family, and what happens is as cold blooded, systematic, and heartless a slaughter, as this area has ever seen. Complete with disturbing photos taken with the victim's own camera. And that's only where it begins, as the ring leader proves to be a truly evil person, complete with crazy, unremorseful quotes, including claiming many more murders... It's as crazy as it gets!! Along the way, we find out that hard work can sometimes get you even more hard work, that a judge & prosecutor probably shouldn't be related, and that some people actually compete to be the most evil!!

This week, in Alvo, Nebraska, when a home is found, engulfed in flames, everyone thinks that the couple who lived there must be burned to cinders. But when only one of them is found, wrapped in a blanket, and mutilated, beyond reason, a search is on for an answer. The answer isn't very difficult to find because the killer fully admits to what he's done, but has a very unique excuse, involving the devil, strangely placed imaginary babies, and keeping certain parts of the victim because "they would have wanted him to have it"! This is wall to wall wild!! Along the way, we find out that Nebraska loves their testicles, that the devil generally doesn't leave babies for you, inside of host bodies that he has possessed, and when you murder someone, they don't want you to have any of their body parts!!

This week, in Framingham, Massachusetts, an upstanding, successful suburban couple appear to have it all. Great jobs, money in the bank, and a beautiful home, in a safe, leafy neighborhood. They appear to be on top of the world, until one night, the combination of burnt baked ziti, and an apparent invasion of body swapping enemy space alien vampires, who need to be thwarted, cause chaos to reign in this otherwise serene home. The murder is unimaginably horrible, giving even the investigators nightmares, for years to come. But will anyone believe the alien vampire stuff, or will this just go down as one of the sickest, most depraved acts in history?? Along the way, we find out that Massachusetts is a little bit expensive, that even going to the best schools doesn't mean you're not a violent maniac, and that if you ever see an enemy space alien vampire, don't kill it!!
