This week, Amber covers the murder of Carrie Ann Jopek. Carrie Ann's case went cold for 30 years before her killer confessed.

Then, Naomi takes us back to US westward expansion and a most notable tragedy inflicted at the hands of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
 
For this episode, Amber was drinking a South Australian Chardonnay from Ravelston Cellars
