    Episode 50: Nightmare In Napa: The Murders of Adriane Insogna & Leslie Mazzara

    On Halloween of 2004, roommates Adriane Insogna, Leslie Mazzara and Lauren Meanza handed out candy to trick or treaters before going to bed in their Napa Valley home. Around 2am, an intruder crept into their home, and murdered Leslie and Adriane, with Lauren being left physically unscathed. The investigation that followed allowed the one person responsible to slip through the cracks for nearly a year. This week, is Nightmare In Napa: The Murders of Adriane Insogna & Leslie Mazzara.
