Show Notes
This week, in Old Town, Maine, a young lady is lured from her house by a Facebook message from a friend. But it turns out that this wasn't the person she thought it was, and was actually a very different young man, who had a plan, sneak up on her, kidnap her, drop her off in a field... then come to her "rescue", and be treated as hero, while gaining her affection. The problem is, all he does is murder her, in cold blood. Will all the evidence in the world, and pages of handwritten confessions be enough to convict??
Along the way, we find out that you need beer gardens to tolerate local bands, that you never know exactly who you're talking to on social media, and that if you don't want to be caught for a murder, maybe you shouldn't tell everyone you come in contact with!!
