Something very weird is going on in our host's backyard, the town of Gilbert, Arizona. Billed as one of the safest cities of its size in the country, the facade has been pierced by the October murder of a teenage boy in a nearby town with ties to a 'fight club' group based in Gilbert calling itself the Gilbert Goons.
Parents have been alarmed at uncovering a collection of ill-conceived social media posts among high schoolers in the area showing drugs, weapons and "thrill beatings" that have been taking place with some regularity over the past year - all without any apparent action by law enforcement.
In this special episode, Billie Tarascio, as a concerned mother of teenagers, talks with criminal defense attorney Lance Standage, based in Kansas, who pulls back the curtain on what happens when gang-like activity occurs and how police and the FBI put together a case.
As an ardent social media poster herself, Billie has been getting private messages from many local parents who have asked her to explain the legal aspects of the case, and shed some light on why no arrests have been made so far.
