Paint the Town Dead

Andrew brings yet another twisted tale from Randolph County. After a stormy night in Dalton, Arkansas, two members of the Elliott family had been found murdered, and the other two were missing. It would take five years before any arrests would be made in this ghastly case.

After the horror, Andrew gets to make himself feel better by mocking Caitlin's lack of knowledge in geography, because Andrew is a jerk. Caitlin loves Unsolved Mysteries, and also her dogs freak out at some point.

Juli Busken was an Arkansas native, who dreamed of teaching dance to young children before her ambitions were taken from her. Caitlin recounts the story of Juli's disappearance in Oklahoma and the subsequent investigation.

Andrew hates his number neighbors and most of the internet.

Sending a venomous snake through the mail is not the worst decision that Bob Castleman would make in his life. The formerly respected attorney would manage to top that years later as part of a drug ring in small-town Arkansas that attracted the attention of the FBI.

Afterwards, Andrew tries to bring reason to the food conversation of the previous episode and Caitlin has none of it. It is also determined that Caitlin's name has been pronounced wrong this entire time. Dark revelations abound in the 15th episode of Paint the Town Dead!

Caitlin discusses the disappearance of Morgan Nick. Andrew was unavailable for recording this week, so Caitlin is joined by special guests Stephen and Oakley. After the story concludes, Caitlin has a lot of wrong ideas about food.

Caitlin recounts the story of Billie Jean Phillips who was described as going through life like a "sexual Jet Ski," attracting the scorn of many. Unfortunately, Andrew's audio is less than great this week. Hopefully it isn't intolerable.

Afterwards, Andrew kind of dislikes Aquaman, Caitlin gets cooked by a star, and we talk a bit about the other podcasts we listen to.

The disappearance and search for Julie Heath, a young woman from Malvern, Arkansas with her whole life ahead of her.

Andrew finally watches Midsommar and Hereditary, and then he and Caitlin spoil them both (don't worry, it's all at the end).
