Summary

On August 10, 1993, Pamela and Bill Richards lived in an RV on five acres of property in the Mojave Desert where they were constructing their dream home. Bill pulled up to the camper just before midnight after leaving work and was surprised to see all the lights off at the home. As he was walking to start the generator, he tripped over something on the ground. Looking down, he saw the mutilated corpse of Pamela. Quickly he ran inside to call 911, but just before he picked up the phone, it rang. Bill answered the call and immediately recognized the voice on the other end of the line - Listen to this week's episode to hear the details of this murder mystery.
