#363 - The Psycho Samurai - Caribou, Maine
This week, in Caribou, Maine, what starts out as a seemingly minor crime, spins out of control, until an elaborate, and deadly murder plot is hatched. This plan has many moving parts, and people involved, but results in a horrific scene complete with a savage beating, and a not too often used murder weapon... a samurai sword, with a 36 inch blade. The result is finger pointing, and several stories about who the "real killer" actually was, but anyone with eyes could see what unfolded!! Along the way, we find out that Maine takes their snowmen seriously, small things can turn into deadly things, and he who has the sword, probably did the murdering!!

#362 - Michael Myers Is My Idol - Greenfield, Massachusetts
This week, in Greenfield, Massachusetts, the town goes absolutely crazy when a teen is brutally killed, in her home. The mystery is solved pretty quickly, when police focus in on another teenager, with a bit of an obsession with horror movies, and an avowed desire to model himself after Michael Myers, from the Halloween films, and Jason, the hockey mask wearing killer, from the Friday The 13th movies. But when police can't find him, people keep their kids inside, and movies are even cancelled, as the town literally hunts him! This story is complete with a wild ending!! Along the way, we find out that just because you like horror movies, it doesn't mean you're a murderer, that if Jason Vorhees is your idol, you might be a murderer, and if you actual imitate the killing in these movies, then you're definitely a murderer!!

What ends up coming out blows away any scenario that anyone had even thought of. A twisted plan, and a truly crazy aftermath!!

#360 - Meth, Meat, Money & Murder - Fallsington, Pennsylvania
This week, in Fallsington, Pennsylvania, an odd feud develops among two young men, who grew up raised as almost brothers. Disagreements over the family store, and arguments over the quality of meth that one sold the other, begin to cause a real beef. This all leads to an elaborate plot, featuring just about every local dirtbag imaginable, including members of a local biker gang, named "Toot", and "Critter". In the end, it all goes wrong, and all the gory details are laid out, publicly!! A crazy tale, from start to finish!! Along the way, we find out that anyone can be in the rodeo, that a gun & a flashlight aren't enough to make grown man confident enough to look into a bloody house, and that DNA under the nails doesn't exactly mean that you have your killer!!

#358 - The Not So Missing Spouse - Canton Township, Michigan
This week, in Canton Township, Michigan, we encounter maybe the strangest & creepiest relationship origin stories of all time. This relationship produces an unhappy marriage, and much fighting. Then, it gets even weirder, as one of this couple has an affair with the person who their teenage kid was dating. This leads to crazy, underwear clad arguments, and someone going missing for 3 and a half years, causing a huge regional mystery, and the eventual grisly discovery of the body, in a most unlikely place! Pure weird!! Along the way, we find out that this town had a very hard time picking out a name, that 10th grade biology class isn't a nightclub, and that once someone has been murdered, getting rid of them is definitely the best course of action!!

#357 - Crushed Skulls & Missing Golf Clubs - Prescott, Arizona
This week, in Prescott, Arizona, a very smart, successful couple make a very nice life for themselves, in a wonderful custom built home. Eventually, 17 affairs cause them to separate, and divorce. Once everything is final, all seems fine, until one of them is on the phone, and the words "oh no" are said, followed by the line going dead. A terribly bumbling investigation of the bloody & horrific crime scene follows, complete with awful police work. Footprints, tire tracks & DNA only confuse the whole thing. Will anyone ever pay for this terrible murder?? Along the way, we find out that anyone can be in the rodeo, that a gun & a flashlight aren't enough to make grown man confident enough to look into a bloody house, and that DNA under the nails doesn't exactly mean that you have your killer!!

#356 - The Projection Transfer Theory - La Grande, Oregon
This week, in La Grande, Oregon, a man threatens to cut a woman's head off during a conversation at a local bar. By the end of the night, a different woman, who looks very much like the first woman, is found dead, with her head nearly removed with a hatchet. When this man is interrogated, the local police do some of the strangest, most hilarious, and just plain terrible questioning that leads to a confession, using a technique known as "projection transfer", and told the suspect that he just might be a magical person! Along the way, we find out that not all music festivals are created equal, that you shouldn't threaten decapitations in public, and that if you know where the murder hatchet is, you probably used it to murder!!

#355 - Prove Yourself With Blood - Fletcher, Vermont
This week, in Fletcher, Vermont, a very manipulative man, likened to Charles Manson, and Hitler by a psychiatrist, seems to be able to get anyone to do anything he wants. That includes a young lady, who he manipulates into killing a man that she used to see, out of pure jealousy. This fits right into his character, as he also lured someone into cold blooded murder at his own hands. He even seems to be able to manipulate the legal system, for the most part, but will he finally get what's coming to him?? Along the way, we find out that syrup needs ambassadors, that some people just know how to talk to people, and that if you're going to have your girlfriend kill someone, don't then have sex with her, while a house full of cops listen in, trying to get evidence on you!!

#354 - Need Any Ostriches? - Sequim, Washington
This week, in Sequim, Washington, a wild scene unfolds with the backdrop of drug dealing, boat sinking, karate weapons, and many ostriches & emus running around. One day, the man at the center of all this strangeness calls 911 at 4am, claiming that his friend/business partner has just killed himself, after killing the first man's wife. Evidence doesn't quite back that up, with out of place blood spatter, and even more out of place gravel. The whole thing gets really crazy at trial, when this man fights to represent himself to fight the death penalty!! Along the way, we find out that apparently lavender warrants an entire weekend of celebration, that it's very hard to knock yourself out, then shoot yourself, and that ostriches probably can't plan a murder!!
