## Resource

This week, in Early, Iowa, when a young man ends up in a pool of his own blood, inside of a neighbor's house, it looks like a mother was heroically protecting her kids. But is it all how it appears, or is this some kind of massive cover up & conspiracy? A mysterious pink notebook, that was kept secret for years, seems to hold the key to everything, and a prosecutor who has never tried a case in front of a jury has the job of putting it all together! A small town mess, that grows into national news. Along the way, we find out that the "world's largest popcorn ball" isn't as big as we'd hoped it would be, that if you say that 3 people invaded your home, you'd better have some evidence that those people actually exist, and that there is only so much conspiracy theory that people will buy!!
