The Fifty States of Murder is finally here! Eli kicks off our inaugural episode by making Mel guess the state by way of trivia questions so easy she embarrasses herself by getting them all wrong. (You can see the aurora borealis in Colorado, right??) Then we take a deep dive into a string of murders committed by a man who was either a giant or a midget, a native or a settler, or maybe it was a whole gang, and while we’re at it, it might have been a cryptid, an urban legend, or that one guy from the Yukon, or if Mel’s theory is right, every corpse the mysterious Klutuk sent floating down the river was really the fault of a wiener dog from Hell! (And we all know Mel’s right… right?) Either way, there’s nothing quite like old-fashioned frontier justice to lift you off your feet in the Fifty States of Murder: Alaska!
