Ep. 199 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Murder Under The Friday Night Lights: Where is Tom Brown?”

It's a quiet night in a small Texas panhandle town when one of its most beloved high school students vanishes, leaving behind a threadbare trail of mystifying clues. Within hours of the discovery of Tom Brown's abandoned SUV, one of the most baffling unsolved true crime stories of a generation is born. What truly happened to this beloved high school senior who'd recently been cut from the football team and turned his attention to the theater in response? As Christopher and Eric serve up episode 2 of season 1 of MURDER UNDER THE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS entitled "Where Is Tom Brown?" on Discovery Plus, they find themselves awash in conspiracies and baffled by the mysterious appearance of various pieces of key evidence years after the young man failed to return home. As Eric confronts whether or not the local journalist at the center of the episode is too reflexively (and conservatively) dismissive of some of the more outlandish theories of the case, Christopher reveals a key detail that was strangely omitted from the episode.
