It's an insane tale of murder & greed!! Along the way, we find out that if Tommy Lee Jones wants some land, he'll eventually get it, that you can't tell everyone you know, how much you want to kill many, many people, and that you should NEVER hire Forrest Gump to handle your murder business!!

#563 - The Major Murders - Pembroke, Kentucky
This week, in Pembroke, Kentucky, a very murderous evening, that leaves three people dead, including two of them being burned to cinders, leads investigators down a rabbit hole. The main suspect is an Army vet airline pilot, who insists it was his bigamist ex-wife, who was trying to frame him, but he's been in other trouble, including accusations of abuse & having classified documents. Will a shell casing & a dog tag be enough to convict him?? Along the way, we find out that these small town festivals love a local band, that a shell casing that matches your gun seems to be pretty decent evidence, and that the bigger the crime, the more you claim it's a conspiracy against you!!

#562 - Murder On Slide Mountain - Incline Village, Nevada
This week, in Incline Village, Nevada, a horrible scene awaits police, when a car plunges 800 feet off a cliff, mangling the woman inside. Meanwhile, a man hangs from a branch, nearly 100 feet below the road, seemingly lucky to be alive. But was this really a tragic accident, or a truly evil plot to make it all look like an accident, just so he could grope women, in hot tubs? Along the way, we find out that famous people seem to like to hang out, in the middle of nowhere, that you should have more than a sprained ankle, when being thrown from the window of a truck, and that you should always care more about your dead wife, than finding your fanny pack!!

Will they get this Grandma on the run??? Along the way, we find out that these "new" 4th of July displays are simply no good, that worm farming is big business, and that even you can't just kill people who look like you, until your identity is "clean"!!
