James Pietragallo和Jimmie Whisman对发生在俄克拉荷马州伍德沃德镇的Thrasher一家四口被杀案进行了详细的描述和分析，案件发生在1974年9月，Thrasher夫妇和他们的两个孩子被发现陈尸家中，均被枪杀，现场显示他们曾被捆绑。警方将调查重点放在了Bobby Wayne Collins身上，因为他曾与Thrasher先生进行过银元交易，并且有犯罪前科。Collins承认参与了Thrasher家的入室盗窃案，但坚称自己与一名叫Jerry Prowess的搭车者一起作案，并声称Prowess才是凶手。然而，警方无法找到任何关于Jerry Prowess的记录。Collins在接受调查期间提供了多个互相矛盾的证词，最终被判处死刑，后因俄克拉荷马州废除死刑而改判为终身监禁。尽管Collins多次申请假释，但均被驳回。 James Pietragallo和Jimmie Whisman对案件的细节进行了深入的探讨，包括案发现场的描述、Collins的犯罪前科、他提供的多个互相矛盾的证词、警方的调查过程、以及法院的审判结果和上诉过程。他们还讨论了Jerry Prowess是否存在的问题，以及Collins的辩护律师提出的“放弃计划”原则是否适用。此外，他们还分析了案件中存在的争议点，例如Collins购买的新运动鞋鞋印与案发现场发现的鞋印相符，以及他声称在案发当天曾前往Enid寻找工作，但其说法与证人证词相矛盾。

This week, in Woodward, Oklahoma, a terrible slaughter takes place, in a nice, quiet neighborhood, sending the area into panic. They think they have their culprit, with a 24 hour gas station worker, but he tells them they have it all wrong. He blames it on a mysterious hitchhiker, that he picked up, and that forced him to participate in awful, bloody things. Will detectives be able to track this hitchhiker down, or was he a figment of imagination??

Along the way, we find out that "sand plum" is a bad name, for a tasty fruit, that nothing is safe, or sacred, and that if you're going to blame someone for murder, make sure they exist!!
