In this special Thanksgiving episode, Gina and Amber discuss the disturbing true crime case of the Jupiter, Florida shooting. Paul Merhige, a 35 year-old man with a history of mental illness, showed up at his family's Thanksgiving dinner and ended the evening by opening fire and killing four family members. The victims were his twin sisters Carla and Lisa (who was pregnant with her first child), his Aunt Raymonde, and six year old, Makayla Sitton. After leaving everyone in terror, Paul went on the run and led police on a 38 day manhunt until he was eventually tracked down in the Florida Keys and arrested.
