I'm your host Marco and this podcast is about military murder. It's not for the faint of heart, so listen to your beware.

Today's case has been requested by anyone familiar with military murder.

Especially the spouse's club out of Kale Air Force Base.

Props to my faithful listeners out of Utah. This one is for you.

even though he had just spent the entire weekend with them, welcoming them back from a 14-day trip to China.

But, you know, he was hungry and he was sure that his mom made enough that he could join them for dinner.

So he thought what the heck, let me swing by and see my parents.

Gary was married but recently separated, so he had plenty of time on his hands.
