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

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, we return for part 2, to 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 long the FBI will watch someone who may, or may not have underage hostages. How much money a crazy person thinks he'll need to flee from justice. And the horrible things you have to do to get your high school gym teacher to want you to be executed!!

Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman
