Of Mice & Men & Murder - Sidney, Montana

About this episode

The episode discusses the disappearance of a beloved teacher in Sidney, Montana, leading to a bizarre murder investigation involving drug use and unlikely suspects.

This week, in Sidney, Montana, when a beloved local teacher disappears, after going for a morning run, all that's left behind is a running shoe, in a ditch. Luckily, a tip comes in that is very specific to one of the culprits. This tip leads to an unlikely pair, consisting of a large, dumb young man, and his smaller, craftier older friend. It seems that when the older man smokes a lot of crack he says "the devil gets in him", and this causes him to brutally murder a teacher, and also commit one of the dumbest acts that a murderer could ever think of!! Along the way, we find out that way too many towns are named after small children, that 3 day crack benders rarely result in anything productive, and that you should never return a murder tool to the store, so you can get a refund!!
