#353 - Olivia Newton John Must Die - Lake Arthur, Louisiana
This week, in Lake Arthur, Louisiana, when five people are found, slaughtered in two different homes, only doors apart, there is only one suspect. He's related to all the dead people, and he's a little strange to put it mildly. He claims to have been married at age 7, and was transformed into God. He also paints his hands blue, has a strange obsession with television sets, and stalks Olivia Newton John, because he believes she is trapped under Lake Arthur, and making his bed move, while he tries to sleep. And that's not even half of his overall crazy! Along the way, we find out that some people have it in for ladies named "Sandy", that your eyebrows probably aren't blocking oxygen to your brain, and once you're stark raving barking mad, there really is no "getting sane"!!

#352 - The Body On The Hill - Milpitas, California
This week, in Milpitas, California, a local group of teenagers known as "The Stoners" get together, and do exactly what you think they'd do. Until one day, when one of the group brutalizes another, and dumps the body into a ravine. Afterwards, the murderer starts taking other people out to see the body, while bragging about how the murder occurred. Over a dozen kids come out to look, poke the body with a stick, and even steal a radio station's patch off her discarded jeans. It's cold blooded & mind boggling, but finally someone tells the police! Along the way, we find out that this area has a very crispy smell, that you shouldn't bring your 8 year old brother to see a corpse, and that somehow, some people can be even more cold blooded after they commit the actual murder!

#351 - The Murder Dance - Section, Alabama
This week, in Section, Alabama, way up in the hills, a mountain man feels tragedy after his wife is brutally killed, being found buried on a hillside, leaving him with a young son. Luckily for him, he's able to pick up the pieces, and even remarry, not long after. But then that wife disappears, too. The suspicions from his first wife's death resurface, as his 2nd wife is never found. The problem was that this backwoods locale even scares investigators, who were hesitant to poke around in such a rural area, where there are always eyes on you!! Along the way, we find out that some beards have nothing to do with fashion, that things are done a little differently up in these hills, and that when you kill one wife, shame on you, but kill two wives... shame on us!!

#350 - The CSI Effect - Collinsville, Virginia
This week, in Collinsville, Virginia, when a brother & sister pair decide to share a house, the whole family senses trouble, especially since one of them digs holes, in the middle of the night, while always keeping a large outdoor fire going. When one of them disappears, it becomes a huge mystery, with dogs sniffing all over the county. But when the murderer finally admits to doing it, they then make one of the craziest attempt at suicide, in history. This is followed by a process of finding the many pieces of the body, in some odd places, because the killer was obsessed with CSI! This one starts crazy, and just gets crazier!! Along the way, we find out that dragons aren't real, that antifreeze probably tastes disgusting, and that no matter how much CSI you watch, it's hard to commit the perfect murder!!

#349 - Blood Icicles - Oakley, Utah
This week, in Oakley, Utah, a large family takes the perfect holiday vacation of a lifetime, in a beautiful cabin, in the snowy mountains. This all falls apart when two terrible people turn the whole place into a smoldering bloodbath. The carnage, and cruelty is incredibly nasty, with one monstrous act after another, but the story of survival of the one of the family members is absolutely amazing, and barely even believable. Have you ever heard of a bloody man, snowmobiling with no shoes, in negative 20 degree weather? You will after you hear this! Along the way, we find out that skiing is an expensive lifestyle, that some people could possibly be made of actual garbage, and that blood can make an icicle!!

#348 - The Undercover Idiot - Cortez, Colorado
This week, in Cortez, Colorado, a strange man, who built himself an odd, octagonal house, on top of a hill, and may be into the local drug dealing scene. When his teenage friend gets in trouble for a relatively minor offense, this kid decides that the only way to get out of it was to go undercover, and help the police. This leads to wild, bloody scene, that leaves three people dead, and this young man, thinking he was acting as an undercover cop. But there are many unanswered questions, like how one of the people died, and who killed them. It's a mess!! Along the way, we find out that there is also desert in Colorado, that unless you get a badge, you definitely aren't a cop, and that it may be a bad idea to just assume you have the power to kill at will!!

#347 - The Word Of Death - Chadwicks, New York
This week, in Chadwicks, New York, when a new church comes to a quiet residential street, the neighbors are happy, until that church starts becoming the talk of all the local gossip. Their Pastor claims that God speaks directly through him, and that he can see & hear through walls, and predict witchcraft. This develops very badly, as the church takes total control of its parishioners lives, and even their thoughts. Total submission is the only way to heaven, according to this Pastor. This all ends in a crazy, screaming confrontation, and beating of someone who just won't confess their "evil deeds"! Along the way, we find out that a quiet church isn't always the best neighbor, that if someone claims to speak to God, maybe you shouldn't believe them, and you might want to get proof of wrongdoing, before you kill someone!!

#346 - The Bondage That Ties - Atchison, Kansas
This week, in Atchison, Kansas, Relationships intertwine like ropes, among three local people. Not only are their relationships like ropes, but ropes play a big part in these relationships. It seems that everyone in this town is into bondage, and can't wait to tell friends/family/co-workers about it. The problem comes when one of these folks is found, covered in leaves, and mud, with an intricate system of ropes, from feet, to wrists, to neck. Was it a callous act of violence, or a very horny accident?? Along the way, we find out that you can be President of the United States for just a day, that bondage makes a great conversation starter, and that once you try to hide a dead body, it's hard to say the whole thing was an accident!

#345 - Age Is Just A Number - Chester, South Carolina
This week, in Chester, South Carolina, a lost young boy is found, in the woods, armed with a powerful rifle, and in need of help. He tells police of a terrifying ordeal that includes being kidnapped, after a man killed his grandparents, and burned their house down. After questioning, everyone feels awful for the boy, but they still need to get the details, and he's less than forthcoming. The story that ends up coming out is the most shocking thing anyone has heard of, in decades. Will Zoloft be the culprit, or the person who did the actual killing? Along the way, we find out that the south loves a pageant, that people don't usually kidnap people & their dogs, and that some words have very shifting definitions!!

#344 - Don't Look In The Stove - Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
This week, in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, an unlikely couple enjoys the good life, full of fun at the lake, and good friends. Until one of them decides they'd rather be with someone else, then it turns into a bloodbath. A bloodbath, that the murderer calls an"accident". But accidental deaths usually don't end up with parts of the bodies in a wood stove, and the other parts in a cornfield. A truly terrible killing, with an equally baffling excuse, and outcome! A creepy, weird, and head shaker of a story!! Along the way, we find out that you may still need air conditioning in Wisconsin, that decapitation is a strange response way to handle an accident, and that you shouldn't hesitate to eat the fries that you find under your car seat!!
