May 28, 1983: Badly burned 1977 Honda Civic is found in a field. The body in the driver seat was so charred it was difficult to positively identify. The license plate and other items showed the vehicle belonged to 55-year-old Edward L. Cates - a former Mississippi Assistant Attorney General and Jackson City Commissioner. Cates wife, Dorothy, identified a partly burned shoe found on the left foot of the victim as belonging to Cates. Edward L. Cates was a veteran and received a full military funeral. A month after his funeral Cates was found living under an alias as a Retired Army General, in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack investigate the case of the disgraced lawyer who pleaded guilty to reduced charges and is sentenced to 20-years in prison, without identifying the person found in his burning car who was buried in a grave with Ed Cates name on it.....40 years later, Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan is helping our friends at Othram raise the money needed to move forward with the investigation.

Kimberly Langwell leaves work just after 5 p.m. on July 9, 1999, and vanishes.

Kimberly has dinner plans with her 15-year-old daughter, Tiffani, and new boyfriend, Ken Weatherford, but fails to show up. Tiffani notifies the police immediately, as it is totally out of character for her mother not to show up.

Police find Kimberly's car in the evening, and she disappears in the parking lot of an Eckerds Pharmacy. Searching the vehicle, investigators find her cell phone, but her purse and keys are missing. Nothing appears to be broken, and there is no sign of blood.

Kimberly Langwell is gone.

On June 28, 1997 a dismembered body is discovered by a father and his daughter out for a walk in Hempstead Lake State Park in Lakeview, New York. The torso is found in a rubber-maid container along with a red towel and a floral pillowcase. The head, both arms, both legs below the knee, all severed from the body and have not been found. A unique tattoo is found of a peach with a bite taken out of it that leads Investigators to publish a picture of the tattoo in a national tattoo magazine in hopes of finding an artist who remembered such a tattoo. Tattoo artist Steve Cullen in Connecticutt claimed to remember giving the tattoo to a young black woman, 18 or 19 years old. The body remained unidentified and was given the name "Peaches" and she is listed as one of the possible victims of the Long Island Serial Killer. In 2011 the remains of a toddler are discovered that are identified in 2016 as belonging to "Peaches", but still, no name identification. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack dive into the investigation of "Peaches" and her toddler to determine if they are part of the Gilgo murders or not, and if not, who killed the mother and daughter.
