Summary

This week, in Pierre, South Dakota, an affair turns into a need for a divorce, which leads to a woman, disappearing. She leaves her phone, purse & car, but she's nowhere to be found. Detectives look to her new boyfriend, but eventually blame the husband, claiming it was a brutal act of jealousy, but he has someone else to blame... their 12-year-old daughter. Did she kill her mother, in some kind of trance? Or did he try to cast blame on anyone and everyone?

Along the way, we find out that 10 AM is not the time slot that you want for your band, during a festival, that some people are apparently only attracted to only retail managers, and that blaming your tiny daughter for a brutal murder might not be the best trial strategy!!
