The Chopped Swamp Murders - Ville Platte...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in Ville Platte, Louisiana, the body of a man is found, inside of a plastic moving tub, with no legs, deep in the bayou. Detectives suspect his girlfriend, but quickly change course, when she is also found, in exactly the same condition. Tips lead police to a couple, who claim to be best frineds with the dead couple, but fingerprints, and paint samples say they're actually murderers. But will blaming a rival biker gang get them off the hook?

 

Along the way, we find out that detectives don't want to do their jobs, just like the rest of us, that painting everything in sight is a definite symptom of too much meth, and that you can't just blame other bikers for things, regardless of evidence!!
