#546 - Stairway To Heaven - Newfane, Ver...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in Newfane, Vermont, a simple house party turns into a complete mess, and turns violent, when one particular guest can't stop attempting to start fights, hitting on women, or trying to steal the host's car. All seems well, once he finally leaves, but party's host is later found, brutally murdered, with a ski pole stuck in his neck, while the troublemaker is found, wearing the victim's clothes. But that doesn't mean it's open & shut!!


Along the way, we find out that dogs apparently don't mix well with crafts, that you shouldn't challenge random people to fights, and that a ski pole makes a very deadly weapon!!
