Episode 583: Cow Noir

On September 9th, BJ Holloway's life savings were stolen. His 6 cows were taken in the dead of the night from his land in Spencer, Oklahoma. BJ looked everywhere for his stolen cattle. He asked his neighbors. He filed a police report. But out in Oklahoma, when cows are stolen, it's hard to find the thief. The cows all look alike, and the evidence disappears when they're turned into steaks.

A grouping of cattle in the auction pen are examined by potential buyers at the OKC West Livestock Market in El Reno, Oklahoma.
