About this episode

The episode discusses the gruesome murder of Billy Joe Carrethers by Christopher Ebanks and the subsequent actions taken by Ebanks.

Out of prison for exactly one month, Christopher Ebanks is accused of killing a friend, Billy Joe Carrethers, with some type of odd stabbing weapon, then forcing Carrethers girlfriend, Selena Blanco, to clean up the mess. The victim was then placed in a bathtub, wrapped up in carpet and air mattress, bound with an extension cord and put into a closet. But not before Ebanks allegedly cut off the victims' head and hands and placed them in a suitcase and carried out of the apartment.  Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the case and additional details that help explain some of the charges Ebanks now faces with his bond set at $1 million! As this is an ongoing case, updates will follow.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
