#140 - When Death Is Too Easy in Troy, Illinois
This week, in Troy, Illinois, a drifter, fresh out of prison, blows into town, and is caught with a stolen car, and quite the story of how he came to acquire it. The story gets crazier as more details come to light, and once the march to death row begins, it only gets more absurd. A brutal murder, an awful person, and a pretty amazing last meal make this a story to remember!! Along the way, we find out that past behavior often predicts future behavior, sometimes you maybe shouldn't give people another chance, and dead bodies most certainly still bleed!!

#139 - The Murder Portal Is Open in Little Compton, Rhode Island
This week, in Little Compton, Rhode Island, a brutal killing is discovered, and the fact that there is an open hole, in the victim's home, literally everyone is a suspect. That is, until police zero in on a man with a shady history, a shaky alibi, and one of the worst excuses for his DNA being somewhere that it shouldn't be, in the history of criminal investigation. This is a crazy story, that just keeps getting crazier!! Along the way, we find out that you can actual build a monument to spite, that sperm can't be brought back to life by bathwater, and that DNA is a real thing & much to the surprise of the suspect, is admissible in court!!

#138 - The Cookie Monster in Walnut, Mississippi
This week, in Walnut, Mississippi, where the town doesn't know where to turn when a ransom note is found, after a college student goes missing. Who could have taken her? An outsider? The town maniac? Police quickly call in the FBI in a desperate attempt to find the missing young woman, hopefully alive. The whole thing ends up in a legal fight that lasts years, and causes some strong feelings! Along the way, we find out that sometimes a tow only needs one festival, that your history often tells your future, and that crazy can certainly be measured in your cookie eating to murder ratio!!

#137 - A Murder Not-So-Mystery Weekend in St. Michaels, Maryland
This week, in St Michaels, Maryland, a couple goes on a weekend getaway to a resort, complete with a murder mystery dinner theater show, romantic cottage, and complimentary champagne. But by the end of the weekend, there is more than one murder at the resort, and the second one definitely isn't part of the show. Could it be a careless smoking accident, leading to tragic outcome, or was it one of the most heartless murder around? Along the way, we find out that Blazing Saddles tactics can work in actual war, that you shouldn't ask too many people to kill your spouse, and that sometimes less clues equal more facts!!

#136 - Unearthing Some Secrets in Eunice, New Mexico
This week, in Eunice, New Mexico, when a woman disappears, seemingly into thin air, everyone looks at her ex husband, but it's not quite so simple. Maybe she took off with a trucker, maybe she just needed a break, maybe she's dead, and was killed in a horrific way. In the end, a brutal murder only has one answer to the question of who did it. But the question that lingers is why? Along the way, we find out grown men dominating a children's event, a few more uses for ether, and if it's possible to callously murder & not even intend to!!

#135 - A Sun Powered Killer in Edinburg, Virginia
This week, in Edinburg, Virginia, a troubled man, with a troubled family ends a family feud in a very final, and violent way. When he is finally discovered, his tale of what actually happened is one for record books. A story so fantastical that it's almost hard to believe that someone could think it would work. And it doesn't. But just when you think it's all settled, more crazy rears its head!! This one is a trip!! Along the way, we find out about what a "bed race" might be, we learn that what you've done is often an indicator of what you'll do, and that when you blame someone else for a murder, that person should actually exist!!

#134 - Some People Just Don't Mix in Byers, Colorado
This week, in Byers, Colorado, a upstanding, church going woman goes missing, and police aren't sure where to turn. Was it her beloved family? A random act? The married couple, who just got a job as ranch hands at the property next door? It isn't long until they decide who to go after, and that's when two very twisted lives become exposed, and their depravity, and callous disregard for human suffering comes to light! Along the way, we find out asterisks can come in handy, that sometimes people are better off alone, and that ice cream probably tastes better when it's the last thing you'll ever eat!!

#133 - What's That In Your Pocket? in Mount Ida, Arkansas
This week, in Mount Ida, Arkansas, a beloved citizen is found murdered at home, and everyone is left scratching their heads until a seemingly tiny clue leads to another clue, and then another... until police focus on one suspect who has vanished into thin air. It takes the stupidest of stupid moves by the killer for police to find, and capture him. And that's where the fun starts! This is a crazy ride, from start to finish!! Along the way, we find out that sorghum needs its own festival, that just because someone is wearing a suit, doesn't mean that you should let them into your house, and that $336 is more important than freedom to some people!!

#132 - Why Let One Live? in Weisenberg, Pennsylvania
This week, in Weisenberg, Pennsylvania, a seemingly happy family moves to a new state, and everything is going wonderfully. Soon, financial problems start to spring up, and tensions rise, but the result is something that no one expected, as police have to follow a series of cryptic hand written notes, leading them to a horrible scene. But where is the killer? This is a twisted one! Along the way, we find out that Pennsylvania German exists as a language, that happy family Christmas photos aren't always what they seem, and most of all, always be nice to your step parents!!

#131 - A Killer So Innocent in Winnemucca, Nevada
This week, in Winnemucca, Nevada, a man moves to a new town to make a fresh start. Everything was going so well that his nephew soon joined him, and all seemed well. Until one of them disappeared. And then the other one is gone, too. With no enemies, and unable to even find the two men, police are baffled, until a rural casino waitress breaks the case wide open... Then, it really gets messy!! Along the way, we find out that Basque people can take over a town, that some people's throats just don't need to be cut, and that if you don't want something included in the evidence, you shouldn't have stolen it!!
