Shownotes Transcript

This week, in Benton, Kentucky, a rural trailer fire leads to a horrifying discovery, inside the home. A very dead woman. It seems like a tragic accident, but the victim's "roommate" seems to know a bit too much about it, and has a history of everything he's around, catching fire. When it's found that she died before the fire started, things get crazy. Was it a cold blooded plot, or self defense against a wild, knife swinging, gun shooting lunatic??

Along the way, we find out that you should always strive to be "Miss Tater", that you can't help all the strays, especially ones with lengthy criminal records, and that a strong gust of wind can blow a small man off a prison roof!!

Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman
