When officers are dispatched to check on a call of a man walking around a condo complex in his underwear, mumbling to himself and incoherent, they have no idea of the horror that awaits. Matthew Lewinski is taken from the condo complex and admitted to Henry Ford Hospital Intensive Care Unit.  Lewinski's sister, Debra Federico, is notified by the condominium complex that lights were left 'on' inside the condo when Lewinski was taken away.  Federico shows up to turn out the lights and lock the doors, but is hit with  a strong smell of decay. Residents have been complaining for months about the smell but couldn't find the source of the odor.  Debra Federico's husband, son and a family friend go inside the condo to turn out the lights and find the decaying remains of Matthew Lewinski's girlfriend, Courtney 'Jerri' Winters.  Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack detail the sickening story of murder, mayhem and mutilation. Professor Morgan explains how the forensic evidence will tell the truth of what happened, and how Matthew Lewinski was able to live for 7 months with his dead and decaying girlfriend just feet away from where he lays his head to sleep.

Out of prison for exactly one month, Christopher Ebanks is accused of killing a friend, Billy Joe Carrethers, with some type of odd stabbing weapon, then forcing Carrethers girlfriend, Selena Blanco, to clean up the mess.

But not before Ebanks allegedly cut off the victims' head and hands and placed them in a suitcase and carried out of the apartment.  Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the case and additional details that help explain some of the charges Ebanks now faces with his bond set at $1 million! As this is an ongoing case, updates will follow.
