#332 - A Kiss Before Death - Odessa, Texas
This week, in Odessa, Texas, a very different kind of young lady struggles to keep her sanity, in west Texas, while exploring all that the local boys have to offer. She intentionally tries to shock the people she considers "the squares", by her dress, and actions. Seemingly out of nowhere, she decides that she wants to die, and asks everyone that she knows to help her, by killing her. When she comes up missing, there's quite a few people who have an idea of what happened, but the truth is incredibly shocking, and disturbing!! Along the way, we find out that people sometimes speak in a confusing way in west Texas, that dry humping your cousin isn't a proper Christmas activity, and that you can't prepare for something you didn't mean to do!!

#331 - A Pact Of Evil - Bernardo, New Mexico
This week, in Bernardo, New Mexico, a strange trio, including a married teenage girl set out to have some fun, and decide that the best way to do that would be to find someone, walking, and "scare the hell out of them" with an array of weapons. What follows is as unnecessary as it is violent, treacherous, simply evil. They almost get away with it, but mouths can't help but run. We end up with the ultimate "Hillbilly paradox" of can you be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor... if she's also your wife?? A wild, nasty story!! Along the way, we find out that New Mexico is super into birds, that "scaring the hell out of someone" isn't an idea for a fun night, and that even a 90 pound teenage girl can be as brutal as anyone!!

#330 - The Vixen Of Violence - Elk Grove, Illinois
This week, in Elk Grove, Illinois, a simple stolen car leads to the discovery of an entire family, slaughtered, in their home. Shot, beaten, and tortured, with the heat turned up to 97 degrees, it's obvious that someone had it in for these people. But who? Business partners? People in the local CB club? The mafia? Anything is possible, until a tip is called in to the police, revealing the strangest murder plot going, including an odd sex for murder arrangement, and a psychic vision from one of the actual killers! A seriously weird & brutal story!! Along the way, we find out that Walgreens managers don't get paid enough to have a wife, 5 kids, and a side piece, that certain people don't believe in banks, and that your psychic vision shouldn't include you, if you're one of the murderers!!

#329 - The Warlock Test - Eyota, Minnesota
This week, in Eyota, Minnesota, a group of young, drifting restaurant workers form what they call a "family". All of this around a guy they call the "High Priest", who leads this little group, in both physical aggression, and some sort of alleged dark powers. This all comes together on Halloween weekend, following the gifting of deadly knife, and a near murder, or two. By the conclusion of the night, we end up with the horribly mutilated body of a "family" member, complete with odd carvings, and all fingers pointing at the victim's friends. Will a particularly paranoid book on the occult make the court case a sham?? Along the way, we find out that there isn't a lot to do in western Connecticut, that just because you have your own followers doesn't make you a high priest of anything, and if someone tells you that it's time for you to do "the warlock test"...

#327 - Beer, Sex & Jealousy - Albia, Iowa
This week, in Albia, Iowa, a hard drinking pair of distant cousins drink themselves silly, for an entire day, then decide to pick up an ex-girlfriend, and keep the party going. But when the ex-girlfriend turns her affections toward the wrong cousin, the two men take a ride, to discuss their issue. Next thing you know, someone is bleeding out, and a multi county manhunt starts! The excuses for the murder range from ridiculous to preposterous, while he tries to squirm his way out of it! A truly weird & unnecessary killing!!
