In this episode, Abby talks about Sarah Gonzalez McLinn, a 20-year-old woman who murdered her roommate and boss, Harold Sasko, who was then some 30 years her senior.  It seemed like it was all about money, but Sarah's story, which wasn't allowed at trial, tells us there's more to the case than what meets the eye.  Then, Ellie talks about some instances of crime in Antarctica, where the cold and dark make scientists not feel like themselves...
