Leave the Light On
In February 2021, Eric Sauser, husband of Crystal and father of three, passed away. The cause of death was leukemia, but according to his obituary, which was written by his "smoking hot wife," he died of being "dead sexy."

Child
Episode 6 | Season 1 | 47 min
Inside the glass-windowed casket lay a child. Golden blond hair framed the face. The flowers in the hands were still intact. The child looked like a real-life sleeping beauty - perfectly preserved after more than 150 years. It wasn’t until the moment Ericka Karner opened an email notifying her that a construction crew discovered the body in her backyard that she was made aware of the child's presence. But who was this young person and why were they there to begin with?
