#537 - The Ballad Of Bambi - Nixonville,...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in Nixonville, South Carolina, when a nice couple are found, horribly murdered, in their nice home, everyone thinks it must be the serial killer, who was on the loose, in the area. Until they find out it wasn't him. Attention is then turned to the couple's troubled, adult daughter & her criminal boyfriend, who live in a tent, on the couple's property. There's a conviction & all seems right... until blood from the scene matches up to a stranger! Who did it???


Along the way, we find out that a multi day chili festival sounds like a dangerous idea, that no matter how guilty someone seems, you still need evidence, and that some names just seemed doomed to be a murderer!!
