本期节目探讨了发生在马萨诸塞州费尔河的一系列神秘谋杀案。1979年至1980年间,三名女性性工作者Doreen Levesque、Barbara Raposa和Karen Martston被残忍杀害,案情扑朔迷离。最初,警方和一些证人将案件与撒旦教派联系起来,认为凶手进行了神秘仪式。其中一名证人Robin Murphy指证Carl Drew为教派首领,并承认参与了其中一起谋杀案。Carl Drew最终被判犯有谋杀罪,但后来Robin Murphy又推翻了之前的证词,称自己为了报复而编造了谎言。此案引发了人们对撒旦恐慌、超自然力量以及费尔河附近布里奇沃特三角洲神秘传说的讨论。虽然案件中存在许多未解之谜,但本节目强调了在追求正义时,不应让好的叙事掩盖真相,要重视证据和事实。
