Dr. Eli and Nurse Ratched — err, Mel — have a prescription for what ails you: another exciting episode of Fifty States of Murder! With their usual charm and tact, the DUSE documents the tragic story of Daniel Marsh, a California kid who waved so many red flags he could have landed a 747 in his backyard. Instead, he landed in the loony bin as the adults in his life decided that the problem wasn’t his broken home but his brain and sent him off to Pharmaceutical Wonder Land with a cocktail of drugs all labeled ‘Not For Use in Children.’ With role models like Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Jeffrey Dahmer, what could go wrong? Even the FBI was left scratching their heads! This is one grim tale that doesn’t end happily ever after in… California!
