#574 - Murder Selfies - Lucin, Utah
This week, in Lucin, Utah, a genuine mystery grips this extremely rural area, when a young man, trying to farm some remote land, disappears into thin air. There are a few suspects, including a local criminal, who walks the area with no shoes, and a big gun. There's also the local squatter, who seems to have had trouble with everyone. Eventually, some very incriminating pictures, from a retrieved cell phone solve the whole thing!! Along the way, we find out that land in ghost towns is super affordable, that rumors & gossip seem to be more ridiculous & spread faster, the smaller the town, and that you should never take a picture of yourself, with the victim's phone, while covered in blood!!

#571 - Murder Martini - Pewaukee, Wisconsin
This week, in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, what appears to be a tragic tale of a person, giving up on life, is actually a most diabolical plot to murder an innocent person, with a very unique weapon, and get everything they had.

Along the way, we find out that some bands maybe shouldn't be in the same lineup together, that you really should watch who you trust with your money, and that vodka & Visine would make a terrible cocktail!!
