Intro Song: Fishtown by True Crime Guys (soon to be released on spotify)

Lyrics:

Verse 1

He was on his way to meet her

He didn’t know what to say

He wasn’t gonna mess this up

He just got paid

She was on her way to meet him

She knew just what to say

This wasn’t her first rodeo

And he just got paid.

Chorus:

With Friends like these

Its like placing bets

Welcome to Fishtown

Don’t get caught in the nets

With friends like these

You don’t get what you see

There’s sharks in Fishtown

They just look like teen(s)(agers)

Verse 2:

They stalked him in the shadows

It had to be today

Just before the drugs wear off

Their conscience fades away

And everything that’s left

Is sure to find a way

To make this feeling last

Just one more day

DeOrr Kunz Jr. was a two year old child who went missing on July 10th in 2015, in a National Park in Idaho. Ten years later and this case is still unsolved and when you see the scarce evidence and the insanely different retellings by all those involved, its clear to see why. Was this an accident?

A homicide?

A kidnapping?

A FREAKING ANIMAL ATTACK??!!......WE DON'T KNOW!

Cory Lovelace was found dead in her bed on Valentine’s Day, so naturally the local rumor mill started peddling the idea that her husband, Curtis, had killed her. The only problem is this case is full of plot holes that no one wanted/or cared enough to find the answers to. At least until 8 years later when a new detective decides to take another look at the case, but was Curtis still being wrongly accused?

Curtis Lovelace, was eventually charged with the murder of his wife, Cory, and his first trial was labeled a mistrial. Curtis got another trial, and this time things were different… But what really happened?
