\\nBrandi starts us off with a story that *seems* straightforward. When LaNell Barsock was discovered dead in her home, investigators looked into the most likely suspect \\u2013 her boyfriend, Louis Bonheur. He\\u2019d always been the jealous type. LaNell\\u2019s friends said that he could be controlling. In fact, on the day of her murder, Louis got into a public altercation with LaNell. Investigators figured they had their guy. But Louis had a rock-solid alibi.
\\n
\\nThen Kristin tells us about one of the douchiest men we\\u2019ve ever covered. His name was Ira Einhorn, but he nicknamed himself \\u201cThe Unicorn.\\u201d He claimed that he read a new book every day. He claimed that he invented Earth Day. He claimed to have insider knowledge on everything from extraterrestrials to global conspiracies. What he didn\\u2019t like to claim was his history of violence toward women \\u2013 specifically women who were in the process of dumping him. So when his ex-girlfriend Holly Maddux wound up dead, Ira blamed everyone but himself.\\xa0
\\n
\\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
