In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles, Donnie and Dale discuss the 1990 murder of Lisa Pruett. She was a popular 16-year-old Shaker Heights High School student who snuck out of her house one late September evening to go visit her boyfriend Dan Dreifort. She was found in the early morning hours stabbed to death before she'd made it to his house. Police would focus on Kevin Young, even bringing him to trial in a nationally televised Court TV case. But a jury found him not guilty, leaving Lisa's murder one of Ohio's most frustrating cold cases.

In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles, Donnie and Dale discuss the shocking murder of Candace Hiltz. Candace was a seventeen year old single mother, a junior at Brigham Young University and a newly accepted student to be at Stanford Law School. She dreamed of becoming a Supreme Court Justice. The investigation was shoddy from the beginning: The crime scene wasn't protected and sealed, evidence was left behind and the prime suspect was Candace's brother, James. After he was apprehended, he was charged with for breaking into a home and stealing some items, but not the murder of his sister. Over the next ten years, no new leads were developed nor evidence discovered. The Hiltz family and the Fremont County Sheriff's Department engaged in a rather public exchange of contradictory statements. Candace's autopsy showed she had been shot by two to three different weapons and at least two assailants as several shots were projected into her front and back simultaneously.
