Sneak peek: Muscle and Mayhem | Forensic Files

[Music] It's a swampy, desolate area. It's a wooded area. There's thousands of canals down there.
It's populated with alligators, snakes. It's just an area that no one would really want to just go to and and
hang out. It's the ideal spot to dump a body. And when we first went down there, it
was pitch black. And I shined a flashlight into the water and I was able to see the the barrels. We only had a
torso. The head, hands, and feet were missing. All right, ready to go. Judge Alex.
And I've tried some of the worst people there are. But this case really got to me. The victims were murdered one night
in 1995. a young, successful, good-looking couple. Frank was 32 years old. He made a ton of money. He was a
millionaire. Christina was his 23-year-old girlfriend. And they had everything. Boats,
hot cars, Lamborghinis. They were living the life. This case had everything. It had sex, it had violence,
dark, dark humor. We had a group of muscle heads. These were a bunch of meattheads, guys who
were working out in the gym, probably taking steroids. One of their targets was Frank and Christina.
Basically, the plan was kidnap wealthy people, take everything they have, and then kill them. They got away with over
a million dollars. The most fascinating case I think I've ever tried. Hollywood had to make a movie out of it.
When's the last time you paid your rent what it was due? I got a plan to change that.
If somebody scripted this, you would say, "Well, that's ridiculous." Except that it actually was true.
