Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan

On January 12, 2023, the family of Tony Mitchell called for a mental health welfare check on the 33-year-old.
 
He has sprayed his face and body with black spray paint and claims to have a "portal to hell." When deputies show up, Mitchel discharges a weapon.
 
 Deputies are able to get Mitchell into custody, and even though he is obviously suffering a mental health crisis, Mitchell is taken to the Walker County Jail and placed in a holding cell with a cement floor, no running water, no bathroom facilities, no elevated place for a bed, no blankets, and a drain in the floor for when jailers have to hose it out.
 
Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss what happened to Tony Mitchell, a man who was left naked and covered in feces in a holding cell nicknamed the "Freezer" for two weeks.

Granny Shot In Head, Buried Naked Under Sheets, Home Ransacked: Where is Granddaughter?

Deputy Jason Loftsgard is the first officer on the scene of a possible carbon monoxide poisoning death.
 
He checks on the victims, Romondus Cooper, 44; Amanda Parker, 33; Keonna Ryan, 26; and Brent Brown, 34, and finds only Brown to still be alive.
 
The deputy also notes, "These people didn't die of natural causes."
 
 State Trooper Tylor Fairbanks said. "Carbon monoxide does not cause your head to collapse on itself, and carbon monoxide poisoning also does not leave pools of blood on the ground."
 
Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the entire scene, from the carbon monoxide poison call to the trial of Luke Truesdell that is going on right now.
 
Is it possible Luke Truesdell really killed four people with a pipe just to create the plot for a true-crime movie?

Four People Beaten to Death to Create Plot For Movie!

Buford Pusser went on a domestic call in the early morning hours of August 12, 1967. Pusser's wife, Pauline, went with him on the call. On the way a car pulled up alongside them and shots were fired, killing her and leaving Buford shot in the face. Buford survived the attempt on his life, Hollywood came calling and a feature film about Buford became a big hit, Walking Tall. The legend of Buford Pusser only grew when he died in a car accident right before he was set to star in the sequel to Walking Tall. It would be easy to blame Hollywood for covering up the truth about the man to make him into a hero, but that isn't the truth. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the investigation into the unsolved Cold Case murder of Pauline Pusser and attempted murder of Sheriff Buford Busser.

Kada Scott, 23, recent graduate of Penn State, working overnight job at an assisted living facility vanishes shortly after arriving for her shift on October 4. A massive search effort takes place until police get a very specific anonymous tip that leads them to Kada's body on October 18. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack break down the clues that helped police collar a suspect, and what investigators really discovered when the remains of Kada Scott were found in a shallow grave. Keon King, a 21-year-old man whom police allege was the last person in contact with Scott, has since been arrested and charged with murder, arson and tampering with evidence in connection with the case.
