#11 - Murder & Worse in South Lake Tahoe...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, we check out the small town of South Lake Tahoe, California, where a man honed his twisted fantasies, and eventually acted on them, drawing the attention of the nation to this town of ski chalets, and trailer parks. Along the way, we learn how one casino can lead to a lot of snow plowing, how smoking in a closed car can apparently turn a child insane, and to never let a man who is clearly wearing a disguise have access to teenage models!!

Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman
