James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, a twisted tale emerges, when a rich, brash local, with a million enemies, is found horribly murdered & frozen solid, in his own car. Detectives have a mess on their hands, comsidering the dead man's nephews was having an affair with his wife. Plus, the dead man was having his own affair. The whole thing goes on for years, as conspirators turn on each other, with surprising results!!

 

Along the way, we find out that Van Halen is music is best played by the actual Van Halen, that when your wife is having an affair with your nephew, anything can happen, and that sometimes, the meanderings of the legal system make absolutely zero sense!!
