This week, in West Liberty, Iowa, we finish this wild story, with detectives completely baffled by the mystery murder, and the case going cold. That is, until a detective's chance meeting with a witness, who was 9 years old, when the murder happened. She says she saw one of the suspects performing some kind of ritual, with black candles, and apologies to the dead. There ends up being more than one trial, bringing the case to a close. But did they get the right person?? Along the way, we find out that you should always check for 4th graders, when performing a death ritual, that most people are surprised to be arrested 25 years after a murder has taken place, and that just when we think we know everything about a murder case, things can completely change!!

This week, in Keeling, Virginia, a bloodbath, with two butchered people, and some ominous last words lead to one of the craziest murder conspiracies, ever. A bagged lunch, in the victim's fridge is one headscratching clue, with several more that only make sense if one particular murder scenario happened. These strange clues lead to an unlikely pair of planners, and their recruited team of losers & screwballs, with murder on their minds!! Along the way, we find out that you can base a small town festival on yarn, that your coworkers apparently pay close attention to your lunch choices, and that killing one person, so that another person will go to the funeral, so you can kill that second person is diabolical & crazy!!

This week, in West Liberty, Iowa, we messed up! There was just too crazy of a story to fit into one episode. A young man, who is the small town's most popular & beloved bartender, is horribly beaten to death, in his own bed. The problem with solving this case, is that there are just too many suspects. The victim had at least 4 girlfriends, and a fiance. Plus, he's dabbles in some recreational drugs, and other extracurricular activities. Was it a angry girlfriend? One of their angrier husbands? The possibilities are nearly endless!! Along the way, we find out that you might not want to call your buddy "Bacon", that being a small town bartender gives you all sorts of social advantages, and that it's incredible when someone that everyone seemed to like, still had so many people who may have killed him!!

This week, in Delmar, New York, a terrible ax murder is discovered inside a blood covered home, where one of the victims went into "autopilot", continuing his morning routine, while having horrific & mortal wounds. But the biggest surprise happens after a second victim is discovered. The killer turns out to be cold blooded, remorseless, flashy, and driving one of the most conspicuous vehicles that a person could drive. The interrogation is so bad, that it's used as an example by experts, but will that blow the whole case??? Along the way, we find out that a human sized otter character may scare kids, more than enchant them, that you shouldn't drive a bright yellow, jacked up Jeep to drive back & forth across ther state, if you don't want to be noticed, and that when you're dealing with a psychopath, you have to interrogate them a very particular way!!

This week, in Parsons, Tennessee, a man walks into a house to discover his baby nephew, crying in a crib, and his brother, butchered in bed. His brother's wife is missing, sending police on a mission to find her, not knowing if she's in danger, or if she's the killer. It turns out to be something much crazier, resembling a Coen brothers film, in its pure strangeness. A wild, cold blooded scheme, fueled by "a straw full of crank", and played out for a very odd reason!! Along the way, we find out that you can only bake so many things with lemons, that a "straw full of crank" is probably too much crank & may make you commit horrible crimes, and that if your brother wants to duct tape you, and stuff you into your own car trunk...

This week, in Spring Brook, Wisconsin, nothing is as it seems, when a bloody young woman stumbles up to a farm house door, with a word carved into her arm. She has a terrible story to tell, of barely getting away with her life. She says that she turned the tables on her would be killer, after being attacked in her car on a lonely farm road. The problem is, none of this turns out to be true, leaving detectives a twisted mystery to unravel, with shocking results!! Along the way, we find out that Wisconsin has too many towns that have the same name, that wild rice takes too long to cook, and that you can only manipulate so many people, before the walls start to crash down on you!1 New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!

This week, in Victor, West Virginia, a wild stary unfolds, after a couple is found completely burned in a house fire. Police quickly realize that the couple had already been murdered, when the fire was set, but who could've done this, in such a rural area? Luckily, the kills told just about everyone they knew about it, including friends, and one of their wives, who turns out to be unhappy in the marriage. This all leads to a trio of idiots, who have more meth than sense, and let their paranoia get the best of them!! Along the way, we find out that fiddles & banjos are definitely not the same thing, that even if you've been broken up with someone for a long time, you never know if they want to murder you, and that fire doesn't erase shotgun blasts!!

But when this family are victims of a massive explosion, that causes carnage & chaos, there are a lot of theories. Maybe someone was mad at the drug addict, fast car racing son? Maybe they were targeted by jealous people? Maybe it was someone with a lot to gain from these people being blown to bits. A wild mystery!!
