This week we are in Arizona - home of the Palo Verde tree which, as it turns out, is more than just something nice to look at.

In 1992, single mother Denise Johnson, 32, was strangled outside Phoenix, Arizona. Unidentified seed pods found in the suspect's truck led investigators to ask a molecular geneticist to identify a tree from a "lineup."

Kristin learns all about the beepers of the 90s, Brian explains the DNA workings of a tree, along with some musical stylings, and both of us hate the suspect, his facial hair, and his messy truck.
