Summary

This week, in Muscatine, Iowa, a man's unhinged, and horribly graphic murder fantasies are discovered in a notebook, making him the prime suspect in what police originally believed to be a murder/suicide of two women, who seemed to be romantic rivals for the man's affections. The whole thing is a mysterious head scratcher, complete with a suicide note, that might not be a suicide note, and a blindfolded "suicide" that sends police scrambling for a murder suspect. Was it a murder/suicide between romantic rivals? Or, a very cold blooded plot? The whole thing is a mess of nepotism, and disaster!!


Along the way, we find out that not all scarecrows are created equally, that two women don't usually fight over one loser, and if you want to have detailed murder fantasies... maybe keep them off paper!!


Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman
