This week, in Lake Charles, Louisiana, there seems to be multiple people with motives for murder, when a brutally murdered man is found, on a dirt road, seemingly murdered while changing a tire. His wife & her best friend are suspects, along with the woman he's having an affair with & that woman's husband, and possibly a few others. Will cell tower data, and some statements to detectives that don't quite add up, convict someone for murder?? Did the right people even get arrested?Along the way, we find out that you can't tow a big boat with Honda Accord, that six adults should never live together in one trailer, and that going to prison for the rest of your life is a lot to ask of a friend!!New episodes every Thursday!Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGo to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports!Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurderAlso, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!

In the news, PAX East was all right but it's still a ghost town when the expo hall closes, the Rangers are top of the NHL coming into the playoffs, and you may not have played Crime No Crime before (but you should).Related LinksForum ThreadBalatro (2024)Discord ChatBalatro (2024)Things of the DayRym - The End of Evangelion: When I Watch Something UnforgettableScott - Original Pirate Material
