This week, in Newtown, Connecticut, a airline pilot marries the prettiest flight attendant he can find, and things are great, until she disappears. He insists she took off on him, but he was seen doing some wood chipping, on a river bank, in the middle of the night, during a snowstorm. Then, a chainsaw is found. This all paints a pretty clear picture of what happened, and it's backed up by a lot of physical evidence. Will there be a conviction??

Along the way, we find out that one terrible event can definitely traumatize a town, that hair, flesh, teeth & bone fragments can be added up to identify a person, and that a wood chipper may be the messiest way to possibly dispose of a body!!

Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman
