#538 - Dead With No Head - Kingman, Kans...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in Kingman, Kansas, when a man says his wife shot herself, and set the house on fire, leaving him, and their children barely enough time to escape, it seems like an honest to goodness tragedy. But when lies, and certain forensics tell a much different story, the whole thing changes, dramatically. In the end, the killer unleashes a tirade against a judge, that unsurprisingly doesn't help his cause!!


Along the way, we find out that a "peewee bucket calf" is something that exists, that no matter how well you know how law enforcement works, it's still hard to plan the perfect murder, and that's it's impossible to start a fire, when half of your skull is missing!!
