Summary

When air force Sargent Rich Fritz died in 2001, many thought his death was suspicious. He was young, fit, and had never had health concerns.

But then, weirdly, Bo started having close calls with death. And Tammy's behavior only continued to get...stranger. What on Earth was going on here?
