Ep 18 Final Destination
On this episode, we're taking you back to the early days of airline travel. Sure, planes were more likely to crash back then but at least you weren't subjected to a full-body cavity search and you could pack a regular sized bottle of shampoo in your carry-on. Then again, after hearing this story, you might welcome the additional security. This story's a blast... chock full of family baggage... that also happens to be ticking! Strap in, it's going to be a bumpy flight!
Case starts at 9:50 (after a fun discussion of what jobs & astrological signs most serial killers have)

Wow! This might be the most slaycationy slaycation of them all. It's got a little bit of everything -- exotic locales, violent family drama, bodies in suitcases, murder consultants, jazz music.
