Two comedians look at a small town, what makes it tick, and a murder that took place there. In depth research, horrible tragedy, and the hosts' comedic spin on the whole thing. New episodes every Thursday!!

Small Town Murder

This week, in Yankton, South Dakota, the discovery of a headless, handless, footless woman, on top of the ice, in a small river ends a massive search for a woman who vanished. She was last seen by her boyfriend, who has a lot of brain damage, and literally hammers nails into wood, with his bare hands. He also went on a 600 mile adventure, to the same place where the woman's body was found, while she was missing! Coincidence, or horribly cold blooded murder??
 

 
Along the way, we find out that frat boys maybe shouldn't write country songs, that it's actually physically possible to hammer nails with your hands, and that you don't cut the head off of a person that you didn't kill!!

#551 - The Hammer Hands Killer - Yankton, South Dakota

This week, in Kerby, Oregon, a feud between neighbors boils over, when one of the neighbors ends the whole thing, by killing the other man. This is ruled self defense, so the man gets some new neighbors, who he doesn't like much better. Dogs barking, cats using a garden as a litterbox, giant lights, beamed into bedrooms, a property line dispute, chopped down trees, a junk pile, and a makeshift "fence from hell" cause murder to be the only solution. Who will survive the neighbor war??
 

 
Along the way, we find out that you can actually eat acorns, that it's very strange when no one can tell who's right, when people are arguing, and that kill one neighbor, shame on you, kill two neighbors...

#554 - Murky Murder Motives - Fort Pierce, Florida

This week, in Pearisburg, Virginia, an area in the hills is sent into a panic, when a local, who is known for his constant lying & strange behavior, brutally murders two hikers, in absolutely awful ways. He is sent to prison, and earns parole, living a simple reclusive life, until one day, when he surprises everyone by attacking more people, leading to a manhunt, some strange "Satatnic" writings, and a wild conclusion to the story!!
 

 
Along the way, we find out that scarecrows don't scare people, that it's very weird to laminate pages of a Hustler magazine, and that sometimes, you can tell exactly what someone is going to do, based on what they've done in the past!!

#555 - Murder On The Trail - Pearisburg, Virginia

This week, in Lewiston, Idaho, a wild scene emerges, when a man is found beheaded by a co-worker. The only suspect had already left to check himself into a hospital, claiming that his name was "Dump Truck", and that he heard voices telling him to kill "the mark of the beast"! That's not even the craziest thing he says, but the question remains... just how disturbed is this guy??
 

 
Along the way, we find out that Idaho views vary from pristine valleys, to composting plants, that you never know what voices are in some people's heads, and that when you decapitate someone, you don't get to pick your prison sentence!!

#556 - Incurably Crazy Killer - Lewiston, Idaho

This week, in Brighton, New York, a woman is brutally murdered with an ax, in her very comfortable suburban home, making everyone wonder if a crazed killer was on the loose. Detectives seem to have no clue who could have done this, until a old neighbor, with a violent past confesses. But police still don't think he's the guy, and focus on the late woman's husband. Who did it? The neighborhood murderer, or the mild mannered economist husband??
 

 
Along the way, we find out that the Holiday Inn is very erotic in Rochester, that police shouldn't watch "A Current Affair" for help with their police work, and that sometimes, justice is a real head scratcher!!

#557 - Suburban Ax Murder Mystery - Brighton, New York

This week, in Grovetown, Georgia, a woman is horribly murdered, in her own home, in what looks like an interrupted burglary. The house next door is also burglarized. But once the story begins to become more clear, it's obvious that this is actually a complicated plan of killing & cover up, all to be able to more easily have an affair, and has a mother & son looking down the barrel of very long prison sentences!!
 

 
Along the way, we find out that Nelly won't even come to the county fair, that having someone shoot at you, doesn't make you innocent of murder, and that some people will never acknowledge the truth, even when it's being screamed in their face!!

Along the way, we find out that no bands want to play The Dam Festival, that if you're told that your wife gave birth in the bathtub, while you were at work, maybe you should question it, and that fake a pregnancy once, shame on you, fake a pregnancy twice...

#559 - Be My Baby - Keokuk, Iowa

This week, in Chicopee, Massachusetts, who could have brutally killed a happy, bubbly, very cool young woman in her own home? It's a mystery, but detectives have DNA, some very small shoe prints, and a name, written on a white board to go on. When a suspect is found, he has many different stories to tell, including one that has him risk his life to save hers. But it's all a lie, and the only question is, will the jury believe any of it??
 

 
Along the way, we find out that central Massachusetts LOVES kielbasa, that having a famous name won't get you a great job, and that when your DNA is under a victim's fingernails, you better have a pretty good explanation!!

This week, we look into the noticeably middle of the road town of Norwalk, Iowa, where the police were powerless to stop an inevitable horror that would take place in a quiet home, despite the all the warning signs in the world. The murders are mind boggling, and the defense is even crazier!Along the way, we find out just how rich you can get off of corn, if having no memory is the legal equivalent to being insane, and just how much of a discount you can get on a house where a massacre took place!!
