Summary

Barry Whitton's wife and stepdaughter, Kimberly and Haleigh go missing. No one can find any sign of them, and Barry says Kimberly ran off. But several things don't add up about Barry's story... especially when you factor in the death of his first wife too.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Jen.
0:25.4	And this is Lindsay.
0:26.9	And welcome to Corpus Delictide, the podcast.
0:29.7	We begin a whole new book tonight with our new series, Sweet Home Alabama.
0:36.2	Yeah, I feel a little bit weird now that Rocky's story is over.
