About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious deaths of Betty Neumar's ex-husbands and the investigation into Harold Gentry's murder.

The three mustaches prepare for their upcoming move by taking a short trip to their soon-to-be home, North Carolina. In 1986, a man named Harold Gentry was brutally gunned down in what appeared to be a botched home invasion. The murder remained unsolved until 2006 when a forensic criminologist named Dr Laura Pettler discovered that Harold's wife, Betty, had a few skeletons in her closet. Specifically, the skeletons of four dead ex-husbands, all of whom died from a gunshot wound under mysterious circumstances. As the old saying goes, "two times is a coincidence, three times is a pattern". Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
