| 0:00.0 | May 29th, 2011. Florence, Kentucky. After missing their morning church service, |
| 0:07.8 | 74-year-old Bill Stevenson and his 74-year-old wife Peggy Stevenson are found murdered inside |
| 0:13.5 | their condo. Their causes of death are listed as blunt force trauma and sharp force trauma, |
| 0:19.3 | and while few details about the crime scene are |
| 0:21.2 | released to the public, it's reported that the victim's bodies and a number of items in the |
| 0:25.7 | condo were moved around and staged in a specific fashion in order to send some sort of message. |
| 0:32.1 | It's believed that the killer remained at the scene for hours after committing the murders, |

| 1:40.9 | disappearance of his wife, Kay Wood. These crimes took place in different states within |
| 1:45.6 | only two months of each other, and while there's not appear to be any connection between the two |
| 1:49.9 | cases, the one thing they have in common is that they are both major head scratchers. You might recall |
| 1:56.1 | that the trail went cold started off the year with an episode about the 2014 murders of another elderly married couple |
| 2:02.4 | named Russell and Shirley Dermond, which was once featured on the Unsaw Mysteries podcast. |
| 2:07.8 | Well, the murders of Bill and Peggy Stevenson were also featured on that podcast, and what's |
| 2:12.7 | particularly odd is that both the Dermans and Stevenson's seem to be universally beloved people who had close |
| 2:19.1 | relationships with their families and no known enemies, so no one has been able to come up with a |
