536: Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 Part 2
Shit got real REAL fast when the FBI came knock knock knocking on Matty's door. They let him know: Anyone gets hurt or dies at this thing, it's your ass, kid. Does Matty take this opportunity to, you know, shut the thing down to STAY OUT OF PRISON? NOPE! Instead, he tries to move this thing away from the ONE BATHROOM TOWN of Rachel, Nevada to downtown Las Vegas. BUT THE INTERNET DOESN'T CARE WHAT MATTY WANTS ANYMORE. And so as the MILITARY BRINGS IN BACKUP and the SHUTDOWN THE AIRSPACE over Area 51 in preparation, the world waits with baited breath to see how many INTERNET IDIOTS actually show up to this thing.

535: Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 Part 1
Meet Matty, the self-described "twenty-year-old loser working at the vape kiosk in the mall." In 2019, bored and sort of as a joke, he made a post on his Facebook page - "shitposting" - encouraging his 41 followers that they should all storm Area 51 in three months. He created an event and went to bed. Little did he know the hell and chaos he was about to unleash as THREE MILLION PEOPLE signed up to ACTUALLY DO IT. And once the internet caught wind of this, it was just a matter of time before this became an international countdown to the day. And who knew what would happen. The only thing they knew for sure was that the US Military had orders to SHOOT TO KILL anyone who tried. FAM!

534: What the Neighbors Saw (from "48 Hours")
In 2013, Gary Herpst left his wife and son and went missing. But... they didn't seem to mind all that much and only RELUCTANTLY filed a missing person report for him. Turns out this guy was a reeeeeeeeal piece of work - to quote The Chicks, "a missing person who nobody missed at all."

OK, Fam, do that thing where you stretch your fingers and crack you knuckles BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO WANT TO PUNCH SOMONE. In 2021, Bridget matched with Ricky on Facebook Dating... which was apparently a thing. Ricky was ex-military and had the severe PTSD AND ADORABLE MILITARY DOG, ZEUS, to prove it. He'd been through hell, including watching his best friend, Clarence, literally take bullets and die for him. And Bridget BECAUSE SHE'S A GOOD, KIND, EMPATHETIC PERSON was three thousand percent there for him. The only thing was, his story was a complete lie. And when Bridget notices THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS missing from her bank account, she knows Ricky has scammed her. And then, Ricky takes off. But guess what?

529: The I-70 Killer (from "People Magazine Investigates")
In the spring of 1992, a madman terrorized the Midwest, killing at least six people and using Interstate 70 as both his killing field and escape route. In one of the most FRUSTRATING cases we've ever covered, there were witnesses, composite sketches, and even surveillance video, but somehow the killer has never been caught. But there were bright spots in the investigation, too - LIKE THE SURVIVOR WHO REFUSED SURGERY WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY A 50% SURVIVAL RATE AND NOW, FULLY RECOVERED THANKS TO HER OWN BADASSERY, LIVES WITH A BULLET LODGED IN HER SPINE. Oh, and get THIS, Fam - the cops actually think they know who this piece of shit is... BUT HAVEN'T FREAKING ARRESTED HIM YET. Ugh, it's a lot, but we're gonna get through this together.
