#464 - Mystery Of The Fake Dad - Sandpoi...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in Sandpoint, Idaho, a true mystery is born, when a man appears to be missing, but is still paying his bills, and sending out birthday cards. The person who ends up having his boat, and money says he was given these things, but not by the missing man... by an imposter! His story is wild, but will DNA, a secret weapon room, and common sense be enough to hold someone responsible??


Along the way, we find out that you need to eat chili when it's ten below zero, outside, that people tend to know their own father's voice, and that the sketch of a suspect, probably shouldn't look like the sketch artist!


Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman
