On this week's case, Avery and Dylan discuss the tragic story of Cody Johnson and Jordan Graham. Cody was 25 years old and Jordan was 22 when they got married in June of 2013. What should have been the happiest day of their lives quickly proved to not be the case when Jordan regretted all of it. Throughout their first week of marriage, Jordan felt as though she had made a mistake and claimed to be unhappy. However, just 8 days after their wedding on July 8th, 2013,  Cody went missing. Jordan's mood dramatically shifted and when questioned about where Cody could have gone, she had multiple different stories. Police, friends, and family were all suspicious Jordan was the one responsible. All of their suspicions were confirmed when Jordan led them all to a trail called The Loop at Glacier National Park in Montana and found Cody's body at the bottom of a 200 foot cliff claiming the holy spirit had led her there.

On this week's episode, Avery and Dylan discuss the sudden disappearance and murder of Michael Severance. Michael Severance had joined the Air Force shortly after graduating from high school to get out of his small home town in Maine. After serving 5 tours in Afghanistan, Michael was stationed at a base in Texas. It was there that he met Wendi Davidson, a single mom who worked as a veterinarian. Shortly after dating, they had a son and were married in September of 2004. On January 16th, 2005 however, Michael went missing and Wendi's only explanation was that he must have been stressed. The Air Force's Office of Special Investigations began searching for the missing Airman, only to discover that the real danger Michael faced was not just on deployment but also in his own home.

On the 4th of July in 1987, the town of Athens, Wisconsin was celebrating with fireworks while something evil would go on to happen after. The Kunz Family was found murdered the next morning in their farm house by Kenneth Kunz, the son of Helen. Kenneth discovered his brother Randy murdered along with Helen's siblings Irene, Clarence, and Marie. Helen however, was missing. As police investigated the murders, they uncovered the concerning dynamic of the Kunz Family. The town and media became fixated on their questionable past and finding the killer became difficult with the lack of evidence.

On this week's episode, Avery and Dylan discuss the infamous murders that happened in Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas. The Snowden's were an extremely prominent family in the area and had been for generations. They owned many homes on the lake, including the famous Snowden House. Sally McKay ran her family's business with the help of her nephew Joseph Lee Baker until one day the two were murdered and Sally's home was set on fire in an attempt to hide a burglary. Police arrested 16 year old Travis Lewis for the crimes. While in prison, Sally's daughter Martha McKay befriended Travis and wanted to forgive him while leading him towards a better life. While out on parole, Travis worked for Martha until he began stealing again. Shockingly, Travis would end up doing exactly what he did to Sally and Lee to Martha 23 years later.
