Anomalous Fascination

In Episode 15, we will be discussing a truly haunting unsolved and unexplainable murder case. Almost 100 years after the crime, we still can't say with any certainty what exactly happened...or who did it......Lets take a stroll shall we?

Please note this episode has been marked "explicit" as there are some challenging ideas and discussions of violent events. (Nothing worse than your typical true crime show, but did not want anyone to be surprised).
