We will discuss the bond between two cousins. They grew up together as children and were inseparable. As adults, they began kidnapping, raping and murdering several women. Thanks to the acts of a brave 17 year old girl, Lynn Elliot, who unfortunately, did not survive her attack but who's actions saved her 14 year old friend. The 14 year old girl is the only survivor of these two killing cousins, David Gore and Fred Waterfield.

This week we will discuss a man who had a love of money. After his third wife dies under mysterious circumstances police receive tips from her teenaged son that his stepfather received life insurance payments several times for prior deaths. A stripper also comes forward to tell police that this guy told her he killed his previous wife and planned to kill his current wife. In every death he was present and cleaned the crime scene prior to authorities arriving. Listen to today's case to see if you think Lowell Amos was incredibly unlucky OR if his greed to collect on life insurance policies lead to several murders before he is arrested.

Today's case is disturbing to hear the amount of neglect that took place and lead to the unfortunate death of a 28-day old baby girl.

The mother, China Arnold ended up being tried several times before her eventual conviction. Do you think the correct person was brought to justice?
