This is I Fear You, Babe.

Before we talk about how Chad Entzel died, we talk about how he lived.

Chad Entzel was 42 years old, a regular at his bowling league, a working guy with routines and people who expected him to show up. He was not a plot twist in someone else’s story.

This episode walks through the house fire in North Dakota, how investigators realized it wasn’t an accident, and the courtroom record that revealed a conspiracy to cover up Chad’s murder.

This episode is built only on documented facts, court records, plea agreements, trial testimony, and verified reporting.

Because Chad Entzel was a life.
And he deserved better.
