In 2002, a home invasion left two people dead but the plot quickly unraveled. The only question–one that would last beyond the deaths of two of the co-conspirators–is who was the mastermind.  This case is solved.  (Episode correction: Matthew Shallenberger's name is mispronounced as Shallenberg twice in the episode. I am out of town and cannot re-record to correct it.) Thank you to our sponsor Newspapers.com. Use code CRIMELINES for 20% off!
