11: Mercy or Murder? Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Grab your camping gear and make sure you bring plenty of water. This might be a good time to leave your best friend at home. This week we are taking you to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. When two friends from Boston head out on a cross-country road trip to California, they stop at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico to camp for the night. What was supposed to be a one night camping trip ends up being longer than either of them expected and only one of them makes it out alive. Join us this week as we take you down this journey of twists and turns that will make you question your own morals and what you might be capable of doing in dire situations.

We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
