Summary

Sara and Danny are back to cover a case chuck-full of twists and turns: the murder of Betsy Faria. They start off with some background about Betsy and her life before diving into the details of the murder. They discuss the night of the murder and her husband's account of it, and how the investigation might've been too quick to zero in on him. They also get into the trial of her husband, and the retrial that followed it years later. To round it all off, they discuss the bizarre looking show based on the story called "There's Something About Pam," and play a game testing their knowledge on iconic neighbors in popular media.
