The McStay Family, Episode 40

On February 4, 2010 in Fallbrook, California, Joseph McStay, his wife, Summer, and their two young children, Gianni and Joseph Jr, seemed to disappear without a trace. Over the next month, several clues lead investigators to believe they know where the McStay family went but not what happened to them. Years later, this case is resolved but in a very unexpected way. This is the story of the McStay Family. 
***correction, we say that Corona, California is south of Fallbrook, California. Corona is actually north of Fallbrook. We apologize for our error. ​

Aileen Wuornos, Serial Killer, Episode 39

Aileen Wuornos is described as the first female serial killer in the United States. That's not exactly accurate. She WAS the first female serial killer to be named a serial killer once that term began being used by the FBI. She also killed in way that was not seen in other female serial killers: strangers and with a gun. This episode covers birth to death of Aileen Wuornos. ​
