The Hookers subsequently kidnapped and held Colleen captive for 7 years, while controlling her with one single lie - The Company will kill you and your family if you try to escape. Listen to hear Colleen Stan's heroic tale of resilience and survival.

In a much anticipated return, Arod is back!!! And with him back we are covering a case in his neck of the woods. But first we recap CSI Season 13 Episode 8 "CSI on Fire" and it's a roller coaster for sure. Then Kenzi tells the story of the real life true crime that shares similarities in the episode. Between 2003 and 2005 a serial killer was operating in the East Corridor of Albuquerque and the police never even knew. Until 2009, when the mass burial site and the remains of 11 women were discovered. Listen to hear the story of the 11 women that were victims of the West Mesa Bone Collector, the corruption occurring in APD at that time, and the theories of who the Bone Collector is.
