#479 - Born To Be Bad - Wheeling, West V...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in Wheeling, West Virginia, a man, who seems to be made for crime, works his way up from petty offenses, to one of the most horrible, bloody murders that a person could commit, by luring a couple to their ultimate demise, for a very small infraction against him. He chops, burns, and gets rid of the bodies, but the evidence is stacked high. Also, a bonus old time family vs family murder showdown!


Along the way, we find out that some people may just be born to be bad, that saw blades certainly don't burn at the same temperature as bodies, and that you should never leave your purse, with your IDs, at a crime scene!!


Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman
