Episode Details

In this week's episode, Kat tells us about Wesley Shermantine & Loren Herzog, the serial killing duo dubbed "The Speed Freak Killers" - due to the copious amount of meth (or crank as they called it then)  - the pair were doing. They were mentioned as potential suspects at the end of the Theresa Ann Bier story a couple of episodes back. 
How did these two lifelong friends become the callous killers they turned out to be? How much is still unknown? How many Boneyards are there? 
Join us for another crazy roller coaster of a week!
