As with all great manhunts, our acclaimed podcast series Megan Wants a Murderer has come to an end, starring Megan superfan Lydia Bugg, series creator Seanbaby, and amateur reality show murder investigator, Robert Brockway. Listen to episode five now to finally find out which contestant from the 2009 show Megan Wants a Millionaire was the killer! And more importantly, learn if Brockway deduced it!

We discuss the final, unaired episode where Megan had the aspiring woman-buyers play a game that's going to sound like I'm making it up because we're doing a murder-hunting podcast about it, but it's this: they wear each other's faces and perform skits as the others. Then Megan asks each of them probing questions written by the men trying to destroy them. It's an activity too cruel and stupid to be fun, but weirdly perfect for helping a podcaster guess which man is a killer 12 years later.

Was it Lipless Al, the man who spent the entire episode in a fussy rage?

Was it Corey, the collective of fungus piloting a man shell?

Could the murderer be Canadian Ryan, the homophobic dick who only feels joy when he is hurting others?

Brockway made it through this entire podcast series without ever looking it up. Maybe he thinks it could still be Corey?

When asked to put on other men's faces and become them, the contestants revealed many new personal failings and character flaws. Maybe Brockway should revisit some of the suspects he eliminated. Could the killer be Francisco or Punisher?

Brockway still considers Foot Collector Dave, the pathetic, horny quitter to be a lead suspect. Could he be right?

Wait, has Brockway checked with cartoonishly obvious mafia hitman, Big Mike, to see if he was the killer?

As the episode continues, Brockway collects data and builds possible narratives. You can listen in real time as his keen mind traps the murderer a mere 12 years after he was caught!

Brockway even considers T.J., the man so generic we didn't learn his name for four episodes.

In the end, Brockway had only his wits and 220 minutes of deceptively edited reality show footage to find the culprit. Did he do it!? Find out wherever you listen to podcasts! Like and review! Thank you to Liddy, our patrons, Megan, all the non-murderer contestants, and the amorality of late '00s TV producers!

We also thank Corey.

We also are Corey.

I’ve been waiting for this. I just keep listening to the episodes over and over. Trying to get a new clue. I could look it up. But I have my guess. And I made it from the full cast shot. But today I watch as master detective Robert Brockway, PI solves a second major crime. And the first he’s not responsible for.

sissyneck

let me tell you that i am also on pins and needels about this hot dog mystery- a true who did it! (the murder) if there is anything i've learned tho from my Lawrence Block writing as Jill Emerson crime stories it's that Brockaway P.I is due for a few kinda icky sexual incounters before the big announcement of it was who we thought it was the whole time

Vooster

I've also avoided spoiling the mystery. I know who my money is on, time to listen to the episode. EDIT: Just listened. My guess was wrong, but you know what? The real murderer was the friends we made along the way.

Jeff Orasky

Shit! My guess was second place. Oh well, I guess getting runner up at the Murderlympics isn't bad.

Jeff Orasky

Of course, Corey. That seems a very reasonable request. Where exactly would you like me to put the spores?

Dan B

What a darkly compelling ride this has been, did not look up who did the murder beforehand either. Was actively refreshing patreon this morning in anticipation of this finale.

I wonder if this is sort of spoilers for the podcast, but not the show? I can't tell.

1900HOTDOG

Thanks, but I worry this might be spoilers for the podcast (not the show) - what do you think, paranoia? I have been tracking murderers all month. It's bound to happen.

Dan B

Edited just in case, that'll keep 'em guessing!

1900HOTDOG

Yeah now it looks like I'm the asshole, which is the way it should've been all along.

Dan B

Good, no one will suspect a thing. By the time they realize they got the wrong ass I'll be two states away. Let's part now, naturally... "Why yes friendly stranger, I do have the time. It's 10:17, have a pleasant day!" *Wink* (Jokes aside, I'll be more mindful of spoilers, apologies if anyone had things spoiled before I made the edit.)

Yeyo

I have a question and let me know if this counts as a spoiler. You mentioned that [MURDERER] should've been vetoed because of [REASON], but one of them was in prison! was it because of something not violent or was the company so incompetent that they got TWO violent men in there?

Yeyo

I was so sure about him too! it was a real twist.

Yeyo

Also, I'm kinda sad that this ride is over, but also because of what it might mean that we had so much fun with this horrible crime and what that says about us as human beings

Flippant Sausage

HAH! I guessed right! Nice. Tho it was just a guess, all these guys are people who, if I encountered them in the wild would assume they had a freezer full of human hands.

To be as vague as possible it often depends on who conducts the background check for these. A private firm or government agency. And how far or wide they look. Say for example you moved from Kentucky to Arkansas. A state search might only be for Arkansas, a private firm might not do the legwork to see you moved or maybe they just decide that your bank records probably are real, you’re credit check was okay, and since nothing popped on a preliminary investigation no reason to keep digging and find out you’re actually a hollow man filled with extraterrestrial spore colonies. WE ARE COREY

FancyShark

Just finished the episode. This whole exercise was awesome. But you’re a wildcard, Brockway. And the people upstairs don’t like some of the questions you’ve been asking. Your suspect has the kind of cash that buys some powerful friends. Leave your badge and gun on the desk.

Patrick Herbst

The best part of this is Seanbaby saying "this unspeakable crime" while having over 5 hours of broadcast time speaking about it.

Steven Carlson

Fun Fact! This wasn't the first time Donald "Krang Body" Farmer was murderer-adjacent on a project! Back in the mid-'90s, Farmer pulled a co-director credit (for "additional sequences") for DEADLY RUN. The film stars Danny Fendley, with whom Farmer made five or so movies in this period, as a homicidal rich asshole who likes to abduct people, spirit them away to a remote cabin and go MOST DANGEROUS GAME on them. The producer was an attorney looking to break into the movie biz, and to get a story idea he consulted a former client of his, one Gary Michael Hilton. Hilton, according to the producer, came up with the base plot of a guy hunting women in the woods and also found one of the shoot's primary locations. A few years later, Hilton started doing that shit for real to local hikers. So basically, if you're on a set with Donald Farmer, there's a better-than-average chance you're hanging around a killer.

Holy shit this episode was the best podcast I've ever heard.
