This week's lighthearted episode is a little collage of two midwest mysteries: some Lake Michigan lake monsters and the HODAG. We also touch on the Long Island Serial Killer case and the man arrested for the Gilgo Beach murders. Finally, we answer the question y'all have been asking: are there muskies in Lake Michigan?
