Listener discretion is advised.

January 3rd, 1994, the Reno-Nevada Police Department was investigating one of the most gruesome crime scenes they've ever encountered.

U-Haul employees, 38-year-old Peggy Crawford, and 21-year-old Keith Christopher,

So why I had done several to include death penalty cases,

this was certainly the most serious case I had at that time in 94, the most serious and the most

violent and the most forensically awful case I had ever been involved in.

once they learned of Duck's volatile interaction with Peggy Crawford.

The name of Duck Wynn pops up on the radar and investigation leads to an address in Reno in a trailer park.

And that's where we find Maria Calambrough, or Leah Calambrough,

Ducks girlfriend, their young son, Ben.
