Shownotes Transcript

This week, in Big Lake Township, Minnesota, the horrible & gruesome discovery of a murder leads police in circles, with the case quickly going cold. There is plenty of DNA, but it doesn't match any of the suspects. After almost 10 years, a witness comes forward with the smallest of tips, that leads to a local Cub Scout leader, with an interesting past, and a very strange story, that doesn't quite add up. Will scientific findings put the whole case in jeopardy?

Along the way, we find out that it would be hard to run while carrying potatoes, that "a quantity" is the grossest way to describe an amount of a bodily fluid, and that its hard to fight science... until the scientist is wrong!!
