Piecing together the violent deaths in Chatapicnic, the town's brutal way of life begins to manifest itself in an even more pressing form. Sure, Chatapicnic has a murdering problem.

Episode 2: Rivalry Jun 06, 2018

Show notes

Town rivalries. As much as Americans love their country, they sure can hate their fellow American. And while that's a sharp and poignant thesis statement, it's never resulted in someone getting murdered - until now. Gary and Shannon speak with Todd, the owner of a local tire shop, to understand the bad blood between Chatapicnic and Briggsville.

Episode 3: Business Jun 06, 2018

Show notes

When you start digging for clues, be careful what you wish for - you might just unearth more than you bargained for. Could Chatapicnic's mystery run deeper than the death of one man? Gary and Shannon's interview with a local small business owner may have inadvertently opened the floodgates on the investigation - if they don't drown first.

Episode 1: Bones Jun 06, 2018

Show notes

A waterslide is many things to many people. A playground. A community center. A makeshift delivery room. But what happens when a waterslide is instead a place where a guy got murdered a long time ago and now the case still hasn't been solved? Gary and Shannon arrive in Chatapicnic, Wisconsin to interview its current mayor, Debbie Ruth Larson, about the July 4, 1976 murder of Catskill "Bones" McGillivray.
