Chapter 1: What is the unique murder case in Pewaukee, Wisconsin?
That's horrifying. The area and people have treated me kindly. And then finally, two stars. Pewaukee is just okay. There's not much to do, in my opinion. You must not like lake activities. He doesn't believe it. Not a big laker here. I ended up finding myself just hanging around Walmart or Meijer. That's like a food store.
Yeah. Meijer's like everything.
Yeah, I think it's another target. Midwest market. Yeah. Yeah, with friends as something to do. Yeah, you know you're in a boring place when you're like, I guess we'll just walk around Walmart. That's rough.
Yeah, let's go through the Walmart and the Weed Whacker section.
See if they get any new lures in the fishing section. Like, what else do you do? People in Pewaukee are also very judgmental about situations. and don't accommodate well for lower-class citizens. They don't like the poor, and they're very judgmental. Lower class. Lower class. People in this town, 15,589 people, so pretty small to be that close to Milwaukee.
I mean, it's 20 minutes outside of Milwaukee. More females than males. Median age is slightly above the average. It's 44. It's 38 in the rest of the country, but... That most of that is because this is like it's an expensive place. It's not a place you move when you're, you know, 23 and get a starter house. This is like, you know, you have two kids and you've been saving up or whatever.
And then you move out to the burbs here. Sixty nine percent of the people here are married, which is. Oh, boy. It's 50-50 in the rest of the country. That is wild. Way out of whack here. The single with children here, 6.9%, which is about as low as we've ever seen in a town that has more than 200 people in it. So super, super low.
Race of this town, 87.9% white, 0.8% black, 3.4% Asian, and what is it, 4.7% Hispanic. Sixty one percent of the people here are religious, a lot of religious religion here. And the highest one, oddly enough, is Catholic. Really? And it's 30 percent Catholic here, which I guess some of these Wisconsin, some of those pockets and then 15 percent Lutheran.
After that, the unemployment rate is low here. A lot of a lot of employment opportunities, apparently. So that's low. I mean, Milwaukee's right there, too. So drive 20 minutes, go somewhere.

Chapter 2: What can you expect from Small Town Murder live shows?
It's the dumbest fucking thing. How do you have a festival that has Laney Wilson and Bone Thugs?
And then following Bone Thugs is Fog Hat. So, yeah, none of this makes sense. Bone Thugs will sing first of the month and then Slow Ride will take off. It's fucking ridiculous. Then George Thorogood, of course.
Hell, yeah. I mean, because... Yeah, nobody else.
Yeah, that's who's in there. Then Cake, because that goes with George Thorogood.
What the fuck is happening?
The Avett or Avett Brothers? Avett Brothers, yeah. The Avett Brothers, who, again, look exactly as you'd imagine them to. Chicago...
Okay.
Why not?
What the fuck? They're just like, is anybody available to fix music?

Chapter 3: Is Pewaukee, Wisconsin a good place to live?
So they said that even though she didn't have a job, Jesse still managed to spend a good amount of money. She seemed to have money. That's why Craig never questioned that she had a job, because she'd be buying things. She would give people gifts. She'd give the kids gifts. They'd go to the bar. She'd spring for dinner tabs sometimes. They'd go out to the casino. She'd be gambling like he was.
They were both gambling, and they're separate money, her and her boyfriend. And he said she never asked to borrow money or anything like that. Yeah. She seemed to be doing fine and being able to pay her bills. And so the cousin, though, said, quote, it seemed like there was no end to the money she had. There was always money, a lot of spending at the bar, drinks for people, food for people.
There was just constant spending.
Yeah.
Which seems odd for an unemployed dental assistant.
It's very odd.
Very strange here. She even offers to give people money that you wouldn't expect. One of Scott's ex-wife, the mother of his kids, a woman named Jacqueline here, they remained on good terms. Everybody in the Midwest is so easy to get along with. All these people have amicable breakups and they hang out afterwards. Right. This is crazy. You people are nice, man.
In small towns, too, you kind of have to because otherwise if you hate somebody enough to where you can't be around them, that eliminates a lot of the places you can go.
You have to avoid a whole grocery store. Like a whole section of town you have to avoid.
