What is the most unexplained thing that has happened to you? Christine and Kim discuss what inspired this weeks episode as they focus on an unsolved and creepy case of harrassment, home invasion and tormenting that recently occurred in Portland, Oregon. This case is perpetuited by an unprecedented time of turbulent nightly protests that have consumed the already limited police resources, a record number of retirements in the bureau and millions of dollars in budget cuts in the Portland area.
