Summary

In the not-so-sleepy town of Elizabeth City, NC in the early hours of the morning on Aug. 2nd, 2018, antique shop owner Milton Sawyer was murdered in his home.

While authorities first thought this was a robbery/home invasion gone horribly wrong and that his poor wife, Angel Sawyer, was simply the devastated widow in this tragic tale, we’re breaking down her real role in the Milton Sawyer murder, and just to keep ya guessing, we’ll give you a few hints: affair, murder, physical therapist, youth pastor, and betrayal.


And as we break down the case, you know you can expect our usual antics…

“She was no disco biscuit, in my opinion, but I think Milton thought she was.” (13:05)

“Possibly had some run-ins with people that were not so savory folk.” (18:44)

“To which I say, ‘fake news.’” (20:01)

“Police knew this cat right away… and committing crime was his jam.” (20:49)

“She was like, ‘Milton, sexpot husband, no need to get weird!’” (23:22)
