Summary

Sara and Danny are back to cover another suitcase killer (!) they discovered while researching last week's episode: Melanie McGuire. They kick things off with some background on Melanie and how she met her husband Bill, and how it all unraveled when he mysteriously vanished. They also cover the investigation and the eventual trial along with some updates that have happened since. To end the show, they play 'Double Down!', where they are tested on their knowledge of casinos and gambling to see who has the most potential to become a high-stakes gambler!
