About this episode

This week, in Mt Zion, Illinois, the discovery of a human head, wrapped in 2 layers of plastic & duct tape, leads to the search for the killer of a young woman, with modeling aspirations, and a young son. There are many suspects, including the current boyfriend, the ex-boyfriend, and the ex-husband. And the ex-husband's parents... and sister. In the end, the case is solved like no other before, with doggy DNA!

Along the way, we find out that some places are just between other places, that if you see a plastic bag, in a pond, keep on going, and always lint brush yourself before you dismember a person, and put them in plastic bags!!
