What's in a name? For Joseph Scott Morgan, it is very special, a family history, a personal story, and a challenge to make life a little less ordinary.  In this very special episode of "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan", Joe talks about the man he is named after as well as a family history that is very deep, very dark, and very scary, but in the end, a life filled with unicorns, daffodils, and rainbows. The story begins with his namesake, his uncle, Joseph F. Killian (1903-1951)

The recent Jeffrey Epstein document dump contains an email sent to an Albuquerque, New Mexico, radio talk show from an anonymous individual claiming to be a former employee at Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. The author claims two young foreign girls died by strangulation during "Rough, Fetish Sex" and their bodies were buried in an area of the Zorro Ranch that is made up of 1244 acres of cattle grazing land leased from the state of New Mexico. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the ranch and what it is going to take to find bodies that may have been buried ten or more years ago.

On December 6, 2007, the fire department in Troup County Georgia was called to a rural county road after two bags were found on fire.

Extinguishing the blaze, firefighters find dismembered human remains inside the bags. The body had been cut into 13 pieces, and the head, hands and feet, were all missing.

Investigators failed to identify the body at the time, but did not give up.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack go over the evidence found in the bags and how it was used, 18-years later, to identify the woman....and open a case that leads to murder, stolen identity, and fraud.
