                    #160 - In 2004, 22-year-old Leonila Stickney left poverty behind in the Philippines. She dreamed of her slice of the American dream. Shortly after arriving in the U.S., she met a much older man who promised to care for her and her family. But only five years later, her American dream ended when she was tragically shot and killed during a hunting accident. Although her death was ruled an accident, not everyone agreed.

                      #159 - In April 2016, Jessica Boynton, the wife of a Griffin police officer, was found with a gunshot wound to the head inside her apartment.

Or was someone else responsible for shooting Jessica that night?
