Robin Spielbauer was a mother, a daughter, and a shining light in Amarillo Texas. But tragedy stuck when she was found beaten and murdered on the side of the road. Was it her ex-husband, trying to get even? Or his new wife, who wanted her out the way once and for all? Two suspects, a missing murder weapon, this is the ultimate case of he said-she said. But who is telling the truth...?

Alana is ready to take us out of this world! Or maybe just to Hopkinsville Kentucky for one wild Aliens case. The Hopkinsville invasion is one of the most witnessed alien encounters, that led to a full shootout and 11 terrified occupants. This case is as baffling as it is interesting, so let's grab our tin-foil hats and cough syrup, and get into it!
