    The team returns to Texas to look at a case, which Jordan has been following for four years, that involves a suspicious death, an arson, and an abandoned house. And this case may just shed light on some of Keyes's odder travels and some new and unsettling information on the Azle bank robbery.

    This episode was written, researched, and produced by Jordan Taylor.
    With editing and writing by Josh Hallmark.
    Additional research assistance by: Michelle Tooker.
