Note: Most episodes have to do with a specific crime/tragedy/disaster, and that event will be listed in the state/country where it happened. Other episodes have to do with an individual, and I tried to place that person in the state/country they are most associated with historically, whether it was the place they were born, executed, or committed their most well-known crime(s).
