This week, in Howland Township, Ohio, a popular local man is brutally murdered in his own home, leading the investigation to his ex-wife, who he was still living & sleeping with. Detectives really want to talk to his wife's new, MUCH younger boyfriend, who just got out of prison. Luckily, there is a treasure trove of letters, and audio recordings that show a clear murder plan forming. But was that all a fantasy, and the real killers are actually ex-felons that the victim would hire to work for him?? A crazy tale of betrayal, and greed!! Along the way, we find out that people want to go to a county fair to look at carcasses, that there is no reason to have 52 credit cards, and that when you're in prison, you should assume that all of your letters could eventually be evidence!!
