| ShortSummary
| - After more than a year of correspondence, investigative journalist Brian Reed visits John B. McLemore's small hometown Woodstock, Alabama after John's request that he investigate the murder and cover up of a young man named Dylan Nichols. John informs Brian that Kabrahm Burt bragged to an acquaintance named Jake Goodson that he had killed Dylan. After many failed attempts to speak to Jake Goodson, Brian begins to suspect that John is hiding something. Brian also meets Jake's brother Tyler, who does work for John and is very good friends with him. After days of searching for evidence with no results, Jake's wife Skylar drops by John's on a whim and finally confirms that she was there when Kabrahm admitted to killing Dylan. (en)
- Brian begins to question the validity of the murder; he goes around probing for more answers from the people of S-town only to find that they are fixed to the idea. Uncertain about directly confronting Kabrahm, he speaks with Tyler, tattoo artist Bubba and other locals to learn a bit more about John. Finally, Brian seeks out Kabrahm to hear from the suspected murderer firsthand. However, he discovers that the murder was completely fabricated. John explains his discontent with the indifference of the people in S-town. A couple of weeks after this discussion, Skylar calls Brian informing him that John committed suicide. (en)
- While clearly shocked about John's death, Brian admits that John had discussed committing suicide before, usually in relation to his obsession with ecological and economic collapse. Brian returns to Alabama to attend John's funeral and meets Tyler, who informs Brian that he and John had a falling out the day before his suicide. John's mother Mary Grace is taken in by John's cousin Reta and her husband, which Tyler believes is an attempt to get to her and John's assets. Further complicating things is the fact that John intended to leave his assets to Tyler, including a rumored stash of gold, but John didn't leave a will, meaning Tyler has no legal right to claim them. Tyler claims he will take the cousins to court and if that doesn't work, he'll take matters into his own hands. (en)
