Domestic Scandal In Sioux FallsJump To AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 388 is not a classic trunk murder, per se, but one of the most dramatic scenes in the narrative comes when the prosecutor opens up a dead girl’s trunk in front of witnesses to speculate on the abuses its contents portend.

The Vermont DesperadoAd-Free Safe House EditionEpisode 386 tells the epic story of one of New England’s most persistent scoundrels.
