Ashley and Alena both promised part twos for their tales and both delivered just that in Episode 41! Ashley starts with the already incredulous life of Zack Bowen.

Part 1 left off after detailing how Zack struggled to fit in growing up, how he became a father before he expected to, and what happened during his time in the military. They say opposites attract and Zack’s next girlfriend, Addie Hall, proved just that. Aside from their height differences, the two both had PTSD from their life experiences but found a way to bond during their time surviving Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately, they also both became drug abusers and heavy drinkers. This caused multiple fights and break ups. Addie was often negative and a ‘mean drunk’ and lashed out at everyone, including the friends that tried to be there for her. Zack was constantly complaining about Addie, but always found his way back to her, even at the expense of his relationship with his kids. Eventually, when police found Zack’s body and the note in his pocket telling investigators to check his apartment, it led to a gruesome discovery. One day, Zack had “calmly strangled” Addie, cut up her body in pieces, cooked it to dispose of it easily, and spent the last days enjoying life. It wasn’t until the guilt got to him and he confessed everything in Addie’s journal and his suicide note. Tune in to Ashley’s retelling of this roller coaster of a relationship, because there is way more details that will leave you in shock.

This mini intro into merpeople and mermaids is one that will have you wondering just how plausible it is of finding proof of their existence.
