In this episode Jill tells us about a case where a family gets attacked for seemingly no reason. With no leads, the case went cold for decades. However, more recently in an interview, a tip was given that led law enforcement to solve the case (at least partially).

This week Jill tells us about one of the black widows of Missouri. This case took place a while ago and likely would've went differently if it occurred today. Still, it is extremely interesting. And, it includes one of my favorite foods - potato soup :)

This case is another example of a missing child who was never located. While there have not been many successful leads on this case, many people are intrigued by an internet post that they believe is a confession for Scott's disappearance.
