It's the summer of 2001. The Mummy Returns is killing at the box office. Nelly's "Ride Wit Me" is playing on every radio station. You don't have homework, so you're up late on a Tuesday night watching Murder in Small Town X, one of the most original, intriguing, and poorly executed reality competition shows ever made. Or at least that was this episode's special guest, Justin Ling, an investigative journalist and author of Missing From the Village.
