#332 - A Kiss Before Death - Odessa, Texas
This week, in Odessa, Texas, a very different kind of young lady struggles to keep her sanity, in west Texas, while exploring all that the local boys have to offer. She intentionally tries to shock the people she considers "the squares", by her dress, and actions. Seemingly out of nowhere, she decides that she wants to die, and asks everyone that she knows to help her, by killing her. When she comes up missing, there's quite a few people who have an idea of what happened, but the truth is incredibly shocking, and disturbing!! Along the way, we find out that people sometimes speak in a confusing way in west Texas, that dry humping your cousin isn't a proper Christmas activity, and that you can't prepare for something you didn't mean to do!!

#331 - A Pact Of Evil - Bernardo, New Mexico
This week, in Bernardo, New Mexico, a strange trio, including a married teenage girl set out to have some fun, and decide that the best way to do that would be to find someone, walking, and "scare the hell out of them" with an array of weapons. What follows is as unnecessary as it is violent, treacherous, simply evil. They almost get away with it, but mouths can't help but run. We end up with the ultimate "Hillbilly paradox" of can you be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor... if she's also your wife?? A wild, nasty story!! Along the way, we find out that New Mexico is super into birds, that "scaring the hell out of someone" isn't an idea for a fun night, and that even a 90 pound teenage girl can be as brutal as anyone!!

#330 - The Vixen Of Violence - Elk Grove, Illinois
This week, in Elk Grove, Illinois, a simple stolen car leads to the discovery of an entire family, slaughtered, in their home. Shot, beaten, and tortured, with the heat turned up to 97 degrees, it's obvious that someone had it in for these people. But who? Business partners? People in the local CB club? The mafia? Anything is possible, until a tip is called in to the police, revealing the strangest murder plot going, including an odd sex for murder arrangement, and a psychic vision from one of the actual killers! A seriously weird & brutal story!! Along the way, we find out that Walgreens managers don't get paid enough to have a wife, 5 kids, and a side piece, that certain people don't believe in banks, and that your psychic vision shouldn't include you, if you're one of the murderers!!

#329 - The Warlock Test - Eyota, Minnesota
This week, in Eyota, Minnesota, a group of young, drifting restaurant workers form what they call a "family". All of this around a guy they call the "High Priest", who leads this little group, in both physical aggression, and some sort of alleged dark powers. This all comes together on Halloween weekend, following the gifting of deadly knife, and a near murder, or two. By the conclusion of the night, we end up with the horribly mutilated body of a "family" member, complete with odd carvings, and all fingers pointing at the victim's friends. Will a particularly paranoid book on the occult make the court case a sham?? Along the way, we find out that there isn't a lot to do in western Connecticut, that just because you have your own followers doesn't make you a high priest of anything, and if someone tells you that it's time for you to do "the warlock test"...

#327 - Beer, Sex & Jealousy - Albia, Iowa
This week, in Albia, Iowa, a hard drinking pair of distant cousins drink themselves silly, for an entire day, then decide to pick up an ex-girlfriend, and keep the party going. But when the ex-girlfriend turns her affections toward the wrong cousin, the two men take a ride, to discuss their issue. Next thing you know, someone is bleeding out, and a multi county manhunt starts! The excuses for the murder range from ridiculous to preposterous, while he tries to squirm his way out of it! A truly weird & unnecessary killing!! Along the way, we find out that even the dust is explosive in Iowa, that 60 beers, and an ex-girlfriend are a bad mix, and that you shouldn't say that you're about to kill someone, if you want to say it wasn't premeditated!!

#326 - Pictures Of Fear - Donalsonville, Georgia
This week, in Donalsonville, Georgia, a strange group of dangerous people escape from a work camp, and end up on a rural farm, looking for gas & money to head to Mexico, in order to "live the good life". Instead, they come upon a large, hardworking, church going, teetotaling farm family, and what happens is as cold blooded, systematic, and heartless a slaughter, as this area has ever seen. Complete with disturbing photos taken with the victim's own camera. And that's only where it begins, as the ring leader proves to be a truly evil person, complete with crazy, unremorseful quotes, including claiming many more murders... It's as crazy as it gets!! Along the way, we find out that hard work can sometimes get you even more hard work, that a judge & prosecutor probably shouldn't be related, and that some people actually compete to be the most evil!!

#325 - The Devil's Gift - Alvo, Nebraska
This week, in Alvo, Nebraska, when a home is found, engulfed in flames, everyone thinks that the couple who lived there must be burned to cinders. But when only one of them is found, wrapped in a blanket, and mutilated, beyond reason, a search is on for an answer. The answer isn't very difficult to find because the killer fully admits to what he's done, but has a very unique excuse, involving the devil, strangely placed imaginary babies, and keeping certain parts of the victim because "they would have wanted him to have it"! This is wall to wall wild!! Along the way, we find out that Nebraska loves their testicles, that the devil generally doesn't leave babies for you, inside of host bodies that he has possessed, and when you murder someone, they don't want you to have any of their body parts!!

#324 - Dissecting An Alien Vampire - Framingham, Massachusetts
This week, in Framingham, Massachusetts, an upstanding, successful suburban couple appear to have it all. Great jobs, money in the bank, and a beautiful home, in a safe, leafy neighborhood. They appear to be on top of the world, until one night, the combination of burnt baked ziti, and an apparent invasion of body swapping enemy space alien vampires, who need to be thwarted, cause chaos to reign in this otherwise serene home. The murder is unimaginably horrible, giving even the investigators nightmares, for years to come. But will anyone believe the alien vampire stuff, or will this just go down as one of the sickest, most depraved acts in history?? Along the way, we find out that Massachusetts is a little bit expensive, that even going to the best schools doesn't mean you're not a violent maniac, and that if you ever see an enemy space alien vampire, don't kill it!!

#323 - Grumpy Violent Old Men - Shawnee Township, Ohio
This week, in Shawnee Township, Ohio, a strange relationship exists between two older brothers, who live together, and seem to have an ongoing feud. One has a history of arrests for violence, and the other has a history of being hospitalized for mental illness. Perhaps inevitably, this ends in a most horrific, and violent murder, leaving one of the brothers full of holes, with a rope around his wrist, and a remote control trapped underneath him. The offending brother has a seriously weird story to tell police, as he tries to justify his actions. Super crazy, from start to finish! Along the way, we find out that men don't age peacefully in the same house, that it's hard to claim self defense when the other party is reclining, and that if you want a lawyer, you should ask for a lawyer!!
