Drinks called ' Mountain Dew Drop' were widely marketed as both an alcoholic beverage and mineral spring water through the 1870s-1890s. Throughout the 19th and much of the 20th centuries in the U.S., the phrase came to be slang for moonshine — illegally made and distributed whiskey.
That issue's Mountain Dew Murder centers around exactly that. The Mountain Dew Murder story in this issue was drawn by artist Antonio Canale. Matt Baker's cover this issue is very loosely inspired by Murder, Inc.'s #1 Boy, a story drawn by Gene Colan. A rarity for Authentic Police Cases in that it features a well-known real-life gangster, Murder, Inc's #1 Boy is the tale of Harry Maione, a hitman for the infamous Murder, Inc. enforcement arm of the National Crime Syndicate.
