Henry sets the scene from the live show they just performed in London, Ontario — a city he notes is the self-proclaimed serial killer capital of North America, home to four simultaneous killers between 1967 and 1985: the Balcony Strangler, the Chambermaid Slayer, and the Mad Slasher. Eddie pushes back, noting that Detroit and Camden are right there, but Henry is impressed by the sheer volume and variety. From there, Henry relays a bleak local story about a woman named Dusty Bowers who abandoned her newborn in the snow-covered woods. When police investigated, she claimed a 'dream' had shown her where the baby was — conveniently the exact spot she had left it. The Canadian police believed her, retrieved the still-living baby, wrapped it like evidence, threw it in a truck, and it died. Henry delivers this with equal parts horror and exasperation. The whole saga ends with the hosts marveling at the audacity of a killer who then wrote a novel about it.
