In Skidmore, Missouri, population 437, Ken Rex McElroy was developing quite a reputation for terrorizing his neighbors - it earned him the title of The Town Bully.

But one day, the people of this small town had had enough, and what they did to solve it would earn them the reputation of being able to keep a dark secret.

If you know anything about the death of Ken Rex McElroy or the disappearance of Branson Perry, call the Nodaway County Sheriff's Office at 660-582-7451 or the Missouri State Highway Patrol at 800-525-5555.

This week, we're drinking Alamos' Malbec.

19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins may have found herself in over her head on a night out with friends. It was late, she was letting her hair down. But at a party on the ninth floor of a hotel outside of Chicago, suddenly she felt very uncomfortable and was becoming more and more under the influence.

When they leave, Kenneka says she left her belongings in the room. Her friends leave go to get them and when they return, she's not where they left her.

This week, we're drinking Pavette's Sauvignon Blanc.

It was moving day in Jericho, New York. But a steel drum that sat in the basement of Ronald Cohen's home was a dealbreaker for the new homeowners.

They told him he needed to move it before they moved in. He had seen it there for years, but never knew what was inside. So, when he brought it to curb, he looked inside and was terrified to find out what had been sitting in his home ever since he moved in.

This week, we're drinking Velvet Devil's Merlot.

It seemed like several dozen families were fighting a losing battle alone - their loved ones, all who turned to a life of drug use and sex work, had vanished in the middle of the night.

They couldn't get any closer to finding them. But they were not alone. They, along with law enforcement and the rest of the community, had no idea just how not alone they were, and that the person responsible for taking them was right underneath their noses.

This week, we're drinking Toasted Head's Chardonnay.

In her third trimester, Catherine Goins is shocked to find herself in the position of having to defend herself from a home invader on an early September morning. When she shoots the suspect, she runs and calls her ex-boyfriend to tell him what happened.

But he's not buying it for a second. Because the web of lies Catherine had been known for led everyone around her, including police, to wonder what they can really believe.

This week, we're drinking Silk & Spike's Red Blend.

Vincent Viafore and Angelika Graswald were in a whirlwind-style relationship, racing toward marriage. They were both free spirits, madly in love, and had an affinity for the outdoors. 

One cold, windy day in April, the pair pushes off on their kayaks onto to the Hudson River to take wedding photos on Bannerman's Island, expecting to return just a few hours later. But when they set off back to shore, the river was angrier than when they left, and only one of them would ever return.

This week, we're drinking Unshackled Rosé.
