Debbie Wolfe died (*cough* was murdered) mysteriously at her cabin in North Carolina. Her mother and friends SWEAR there was foul play considering her body was in a barrel when she was discovered but the cops seem to be covering up something, or just plain don't want to deal with it. They even go as far to suggest there was never a barrel to begin with. Listen as we give the details of her discovery, the weird inconsistencies with the police, and the suspicious questions that remain.

PSA: The Voicemail is at the END of the episode.
