This week, we delve into the murders that made a whole town change its name, which were only solved because of one brave, resourceful 19-year-old Canadian.
Plus: The Little Rascals Yot Club, strong feelings about Canadian bacon, and Tom Mix trivia.
And remember: you can only have three names if you're a Nascar driver, a barrister, or a serial killer.
