Summary

This week, in Vinton, Virginia, a smoldering home reveals a family, who all died, well before any fire started. Who could have done this? Angry drug dealers? Police conspiracy? Trusted family friend? And why? The answer to that is a little more complicated & disturbing. On top of all that, there is a walled off, secret basement tomb that needs to be excavated!!

Along the way, we find out that a steak festival sounds wonderful, that you shouldn't record all of your criminal thoughts for police to find, and that a little bit of DNA evidence means a lot more than 100 wacky theories & lies!!

Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman
