There aren\u2019t many stories older or more widespread than \u201cbad decisions made for a pretty face or a hot body.\u201d Those throbbing biological urges can kick reason and good sense right to the curb. For most of us, this is more likely to happen when we\u2019re young and, y\u2019know, dumb. But there are some people who will always be willing to put their hands in the fire, to risk everything they have for desire. It\u2019s a trait that often goes hand-in-hand with a self-destructive recklessness that\u2019s so fundamental to your nature that it might as well be in your bones. Join us for the story of California's "Marlboro Man murder" and the pair of devious, greedy killers who almost got away with it.
