We start the episode off in true Castles & Cryptids fashion- lots of cat craziness and pet talk, interrupted by sounds of Gordo playing fetch with his bottle cap. Tell us- what's wrong with your pet? Meaning what crazy weirdo things do they do that's unique to them? Please tell us, we're dying to know!!

Kelsey breaks down the killing of Marta Russo, but the one major thing this case lacks- is a motive!? Struck down in broad daylight on campus, the death was a shock to the nation. We take you through the various theories- including conspiracies!

Then we take a sharp turn into the life and crimes of Charles Ponzi- that's right, father of the Ponzi scheme. Ever heard of him? Well, we took a look into the scam, the man, and how it's still alive and well today, or it's offshoots and copycats at least... ..

But who wants to get rich right now with little effort, anyway?? Um, We do!!
