On this week's case, Avery and Dylan talk about the heartbreaking Stay Family murders. On July 9th, 2014, 15 year old Cassidy Stay was watching her four younger siblings while her parents went out to run errands. While they were gone, a man dressed as a FedEx driver came to their home and eventually forced his way in. Cassidy Stay realized the man was actually her uncle named Ronald Haskell who had recently gone through a divorce with her aunt. When the parents returned home, Haskell forced them to all lie down in a row and he took their innocent lives. However, Cassidy survived and was able to contact 911 and ultimately saved the rest of her family members that Haskell was after.

On this week's episode, Avery and Dylan talk about the murders of Jason Allen and Lindsay Cutshall. On August 14th, 2004, Jason and Lindsay had decided to take a small weekend trip away from their summer jobs as camp counselors at a Christian adventure camp. The couple explored San Francisco and made their way up north to a beach town called Jenner. Unfortunately there were not any rooms available at the motel they stopped at, so they decided to use the sleeping bags they had and camped out on the beach for the night. A few days later during an unrelated 911 call, a helicopter was dispatched to save a man stuck on a cliff. That's when the pilot noticed two bodies not moving on the beach below. The bodies were identified as Jason and Lindsay, but discovering who had committed such a terrible crime against two innocent people would be a long investigation.

This week Avery and Dylan discuss the murder of Teresita Basa. Teresita Basa worked as a respiratory therapist at Edgewater Hospital in Chicago while she was earning a doctorate degree in music. On February 21st, 1977 Teresita's body was discovered under a burning mattress in her apartment with a knife stabbed through her chest. Police didn't have much evidence to go off of until 6 months later when they received a tip that contained the name of Teresita's killer. Dr. Chua told police his wife Remi Chua had been possessed by the spirit of Teresita Basa who told him the name of the murderer and where they could find evidence.
