Ep 4. Slings & Arrows

In the episode "Slings & Arrows" of Swamp Murders season 2, the investigation revolves around the death of a young woman named Krystal Tobias who was found brutally murdered in the Atchafalaya Swamp in Louisiana. The episode is set in 2002 when Krystal and her friend Lisa were out for a walk in the swamp. They were ambushed by an unknown man who shot Krystal with a bow and arrow and left her to die while Lisa escaped and ran for help.

As the police start their investigation, they find out that Krystal was a young girl with a bright future ahead of her. She came from a good family who loved her dearly. She was a straight-A student and planned to attend college to study marine biology. Her untimely death shocks the whole community, and everyone wants justice for her.

The police start their investigation by questioning Lisa, the only witness to the crime. Lisa is traumatized by the event and is unable to provide many details about the assailant. She describes him as a tall, white male with a deep voice who was wearing camo clothing. However, this vague description does not lead to any breakthroughs in the case.

The police then start to probe into Krystal's personal life to see if there are any suspects or motives for the murder. They find out that Krystal had a boyfriend named Randy Paul Chandler who was recently released from prison. The police bring him in for questioning, but he denies any involvement in the murder and provides an alibi for the day the murder took place. However, the police remain suspicious of him.

The police also investigate Krystal's ex-boyfriend, Jay Lovett, who had a history of physical abuse towards her. They bring him in for questioning, and he admits to hitting Krystal in the past but denies any involvement in her murder. The police continue to investigate him but find no concrete evidence against him.

The investigation takes a big turn when the police receive an anonymous tip that leads them to a man named Tommy Francise, who was known for hunting in the area where Krystal was found. The police bring him in for questioning, and he admits to knowing Krystal but denies any involvement in her murder. However, the police find some evidence linking him to the crime scene, and he is eventually charged with Krystal's murder.

As the trial unfolds, the gruesome details of the murder are revealed. The prosecution presents evidence of how Tommy Francise lured Krystal and Lisa into the swamp under the guise of taking them on a fishing trip. Once there, he shot Krystal with a bow and arrow and then left her to die while Lisa watched. The evidence against Tommy Francise is overwhelming, and he is eventually found guilty of first-degree murder.

The episode concludes with Krystal's family and friends finding closure knowing that her killer has been brought to justice. However, the episode serves as a reminder of the dangers that exist in the swamp and the need to always be vigilant when venturing into these areas.
