Part 2 of 2
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com
Sean Patrick McDuffy Jr. was last seen on December 20th, 2015. Sean left his house in Calhoun, Georgia and was driving to North Carolina. It was going to be a quick trip to drop off his friend Eric Brown. But Sean likely had more than just dropping off his friend in his plans. Like most of Sean's recent activity this trip revolved around drugs. Either buying, selling or trading drugs for weapons. In Calhoun, Meth is cheap and always available. It is everywhere and the Meth trade is woven into the fabric of this small town. After 9 p.m. Sean picked up Eric at Eric's cousin's house and away they went. Eric went to Clay County, North Carolina and Sean Patrick McDuffy Jr. went into a missing persons file.

Officer Luky ////// 221
Officer Luky ////// 221
Part 1 of 1
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com
Who killed officer Luky? Luky was a K-9 Officer for the Hot Spring County Sheriff’s department for two years. In July 2017 his handler left for an out of town trip. The sheriff’s deputy left Luky chained up in his backyard on a 98 degree day. When the deputy returned home he found Luky dead. The cause of death is bizarre. In the beginning we heard rumor and speculation that it was heat stroke or maybe a gunshot. We are told this was blunt force trauma. What really happened to officer Luky?

Part 2 of 2
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com
Chino Hills, California, 1983 - In the dark of night, evil lurks around a house at the top of a hill. A sliding door was left unlocked and evil makes it's way inside the home. A sleeping family are surprised and slaughtered. One victim survives and tells a story that doesn't fit the evidence found at the scene. A suspect is quickly identified, and the manhunt began. Kevin Cooper is arrested, convicted and sentenced to death for the murders. The evidence is overwhelming. But was it suspiciously overwhelming? Did the police plant evidence? For more than 30 years, Cooper has proclaimed his innocence from a cell on death row. This week we discuss the horrific murders of the Ryen family and little Christopher Hughes. We will try to determine if Kevin Cooper is guilty of these murders. Beer of the Week - Grapefruit Double IPA by Claremont Craft Ales Garage Grade - 4 and a half bottle caps out of 5

Saturday night, October 22, 2005. Ocilla, Georgia. 30 year old Tara Grinstead, a popular high school history teacher and former Miss Georgia contestant, attends a BBQ with friends at the home of the former Ocilla school superintendant Dr. Troy Davis and his wife Missy. The party has gathered to watch the Georgia football game, socialize and enjoy some Southern barbecue. At approximately 11 pm, Davis walks Tara to the door as she gets ready to leave. She tells him that she is heading home. She gets into her car and drives away. That was the last known sighting of Tara Grinstead. What happened to Tara that night? How could she have just disappeared into thin air? Over the years there have been several strong persons of interest, but in 2017 this case took a twist that no one saw coming.
