Universe of Mystery
Sword and Scale Episode 27
In this special two-parter, the brutal and inexplicable murder of a 14-year-old boy exposes a dysfunctional American family’s secrets and lies. Â This is the story of Trey Zwicker’s murder, a young boy who did everything right but never really had a chance because he grew up in the wrong place, around the wrong people.
This is also the story of a father and son. Â Joshua Young, a bright honor-role student, and Joshua Gouker, a convicted felon who had spent most of his son’s lifetime behind bars. Â The two were so close that they even share a murder indictment for Trey Zwicker’s untimely departure from Earth. Â One was sentenced to life, the other walks among us, but did the justice system get it right or was it fooled by a criminal mastermind? Â We’ll present the evidence and let you decide for yourself in the true-crime murder mystery.
Be sure to check in for part two of this story, where we flip the table and make you question your conclusions.
