#428 - Weak Motives & Wilderness Gangste...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in Palmer, Alaska, a teenager, with a good future, heads to hang out with an old friend, and classmate, but never makes hit home. The whole area searches frantically, but when the teenager is finally found, it's worse than anyone could have thought. This senseless killing makes even less sense, when the facts come out, and the motive seems clouded in mystery!!


Along the way, we find out that Alaska grows cabbages that could be used as murder weapons, that smoking a little weed certainly doesn't make you eligible to be murdered, and that it's rare for an equal amount of evil to be spread to a whole group of friends!!


Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman
