Wicked North Alabama, by Jacquelyn Procter Reeves

This week the Reaper Gals have a special guest, Kelsey Rosales. Kelsey tells the Gals about a local death in her hometown. The death of Kristy Harris. Kristy died at the age of 19 and left behind a young daughter. While originally thought to be an accidental death, a blade of grass might prove otherwise.

This week Montana tells Samantha about the disappearances of two young black women. While the cases are completely unrelated, the similarities of the way the two disappeared and the way their cases were handled are strikingly similar. While there wasn't as much information on these two cases as we're normally able to garner, the cases still deserve to be heard.

This week Samantha tells Montana about John Paul Dejnozka, also known as the Southwest Molester. This one is a tough story to tell, but if you can stay with us to the end, there is a rather satisfying twist.
