00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to Unexplained Extra with me Richard McClain Smith, where

2
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: for the weeks in between episodes, we look at stories

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: and ideas that, for one reason or other, didn't make

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: it into the previous show. In last week's episode, slide Away,

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: we journeyed into the so called Bennington Triangle in the

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: Green Mountains region of Vermont in the United States to

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: hear the tragic story of eighteen year old Paula Jean Weldon,

8
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: who disappeared around there in November nineteen forty six. The

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: term Bennington Triangle was coined due to a spate of

10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: unexplained disappearances that occurred in the region between nineteen forty

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: five and nineteen fifty. Weldon was one of four who

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: vanished without trace during this time. To make things a

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: little more eerie, the third person to vanish after her,

14
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: James Tedford, who was last seen on a bus heading

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: to the town of Bennington in nineteen fifty, disappeared precisely

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: three years to the day that Paula went missing. Further

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: to this, there was in fact a fifth individual named

18
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: Frieda Langer, who also disappeared in nineteen fifty. However, her

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: body was eventually found a year later. Other reports of

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: strange vanishings have also entered the narrative, including the tale

21
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: of three men said to have mysteriously disappeared while out

22
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: hunting near Glastonbury Mountain in nineteen forty eight, and a

23
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: thirteen year old boy named Melvin Hills who went missing

24
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty two. As others have pointed out, the

25
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: hunters in fact emerged safe and well the day after

26
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: being declared missing, having been stranded on the mountain for

27
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: just one night. As for Melvin Hills, or Hill Even,

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: he was eventually found riding his bicycle in Massachusetts a

29
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: few weeks after his supposed disappearance. There are plenty of

30
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: other stories, however, that successfully lent themselves to the Triangle mystique,

31
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: such as the report of a stagecoach that was apparently

32
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: attacked by a huge and terrifying creature sometime in the

33
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: nineteenth century while en route between the towns of Woodford

34
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: and Glastonbury. But perhaps the strangest and most mysterious story

35
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: of all was that which took place in the early

36
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, which ultimately led to the first officially recorded

37
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: case of the wrongful conviction for murder in the United States,

38
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: but was it. The year was eighteen twelve in the

39
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: town of Manchester, one of the recent spate of towns

40
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: alongside Bennington that had been established in the area by

41
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: the colonial governor of New Hampshire. Bennington Wentworth. Like most

42
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: European settlers who came to the area, the family were

43
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: people of the land who'd worked hard to establish themselves

44
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: as successful sheep and potato farmers. The job was very

45
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: much a family business, with family patriarch Barney Bourne keen

46
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: to involve both sons and daughters on the farm, at

47
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: least until his daughters could be married off. Things became complicated, however,

48
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: when his second older's daughter, Sally, became involved with the

49
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: local man named Russell Colvin. Described as a flighty drunk

50
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: who struggled to hold down work, Colvin could not be

51
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: relied on to support his wife, a situation that only

52
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: became worse when the couple had children. In an effort

53
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: to help, Barney is said to have offered the couple

54
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: the opportunity to live rent free on the farm, while

55
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: also giving Colvin a job there for as long as

56
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: he needed it. Needless to say, this did not go

57
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: down well with Sally's brothers, twenty three year old Stephen

58
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: and nineteen year old Jesse, both of whom had to

59
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: pay their own way elsewhere. Added to the fact that

60
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: both despised the way Colvin treated their sister, constantly walking

61
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: out on her for months at a time without telling

62
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: her where he was going, it was clear to many

63
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: that trouble was steadily brewing. When Colvin disappeared suddenly on

64
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: May tenth, eighteen twelve. No one at first thought anything

65
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: of it, after all, he'd done it countless times before,

66
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: but when a few months turned to years, some began

67
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: to wonder if the born brothers might have had something

68
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: to do with it. In eighteen fifteen, Sally got pregnant again,

69
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: this time to another man, the problem being that, since

70
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: she was still technically married to Russell, the other man

71
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: had no legal requirement to provide any child support. But

72
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: Sally wasn't to worry. According to her brother, Stephen allegedly

73
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: tell her that her husband was long dead and had

74
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: been put deep in the ground. Whether potatoes don't freeze,

75
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Whether there was any truth to this, however, or whether

76
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: it was just talk, as Stephen later claimed, would take

77
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: a few more years to come out, and it all

78
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: started with a dream. It was sometime seven years after

79
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Russell Colvin's disappearance in eighteen nineteen that his uncle Amos

80
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: awoke in a cold sweat one morning, claiming to have

81
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: been visited by his nephew in a dream. The visits

82
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: occurred over a number of nights, during which Amos was

83
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: apparently informed by Russell's ghost that not only had the

84
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: born brothers murdered him, but he could also lead Amos

85
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: to the precise spot where they'd buried his body. Sure enough,

86
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: after alerting the authorities, Amos led them out into the

87
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: middle of one of the Bourne's fields to the place

88
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: he'd seen in his dream, an old cellar hole about

89
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: four foot long, where a farm building had once stood.

90
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: That morning, Russell's wife, Sally, watched expectantly as pile after

91
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: pile of dirt was dug out of the hole, but

92
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: no body materialized. Instead, they found only some crockery, a penknife,

93
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: a jackknife, and a floral shaped button within the dirt.

94
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: But when Sally was called over to examine the pieces,

95
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: she gasped in horror the items all belonged to her husband.

96
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: She claimed it was only a few days later, when

97
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: a devastating fire mysteriously broke out on the Born farm,

98
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: destroying an entire sheep barn. One morning soon after, a

99
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: young boy was walking his dark when the dog became

100
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: suddenly excited at the base of a tree stump close

101
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: to where the ruins of the barn were still smoldering.

102
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: When the boy went over to investigate, he was horrified

103
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: to find what looked like charred human bones protruding out

104
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: of the ground. When a team of physicians later confirmed

105
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: that the bones were indeed human, the Born brother's fate

106
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: was sealed clearly on hearing about Amos's dream. They'd moved

107
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Russell's remains to the barn and set the whole thing

108
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: on fire. When that hadn't destroyed them completely, they attempted

109
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: to hide them elsewhere. By then, Stephen appeared to have

110
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: fled the state, so only Jesse was arrested. Over the

111
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: next few days, law enforcement officials tried unsuccessfully to extract

112
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: a confession. Jesse's cell mate, Silas Merrill, however, claimed to

113
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: have succeeded in doing the job for them, and in

114
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: return for his release, he promised to tell them everything,

115
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: to which the county agreed. According to Merrill, Jesse told

116
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: him that it was Stephen who first attacked Brussell, hitting

117
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: him over the head with a wooden club. Their father, Barney,

118
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: had then finished the job by slitting his throat after

119
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: he heard the men fighting and came over to see

120
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 1: what was happening. Confronted with this version of events, Jesse

121
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: finally confessed to the crime, perhaps hoping for a reduced

122
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: sentence and that Stephen wouldn't be caught. However, he amended

123
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Merrill's story to say that Stephen had orchestrated everything and

124
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: that their father had nothing to do with it. When

125
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: Stephen was eventually arrested himself a few weeks later, Jesse

126
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: recanted his confession, but the damage had already been done.

127
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: What makes a Murderer's Mind tick? Killer Psyche is a

128
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: true crime podcast from Wandry that explores these types of

129
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: questions about the crimes that killers and criminals commit. Killer

00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: Psyche covers high profile cases that shocked the world, and

131
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: host Candice de Long uses her five decades of experience

132
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: as a clinical psychiatric nurse and FBI criminal profiler to

133
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: dissect the motivations and behaviors of the most terrifying felons

134
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: in history, and you'll definitely want to listen to a

135
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: recent episode of Killer Psyche where Candice looks into the

136
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: mysterious murder of Ted Ammon, a wealthy Wall Street financier.

137
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: Ted had been going through a divorce with his wife

138
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: of thirteen years, Generosa, and child custody and millions in

139
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: assets were at stake. Generosa and her new boyfriend Danny

140
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: Pelosi were the prime suspects, but Generosa died of cancer

141
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: before police could prove her involvement. In twenty oh four,

142
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,119
Speaker 1: Danny was convicted of second degree murder, but still maintains

143
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: his innocence. How does hatred drive a person to murder

Speaker 1: one Week and Free by joining Wandry Plus in the

147
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: Wandry app As it transpired, a second examination of the

148
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: bones found by the tree stump concluded that they weren't

149
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: human after all. However, owing to Jesse's confession, the Born

150
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: brothers were promptly put on trial for murder. Stephen's constantly

151
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: changing story didn't help either, After first stating that he

152
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,359
Speaker 1: and Jesse weren't even working the same farm when Russell disappeared,

153
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: before saying they had, in fact all had dinner together

154
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: the night that Russell got up to leave the table

155
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: and was never seen again. Multiple witnesses came forward to

156
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: attest to the fractious relationship between the men, and when

157
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: Russell's own son, Lewis, testified that he'd seen Stephen strike

158
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: his father over the head with the club, the game

159
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: was up. In the end, Stephen too confessed, claiming he'd

160
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: merely acted in self defense. It took the jury just

161
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: over an hour to find both defendants guilty of murder.

162
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: Although at first sentenced to hang, Jesse's sentence was eventually

163
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: reduced to life imprisonment, but Stephen was not so lucky.

164
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: He was sentenced to hang on January twenty eighth, eighteen twenty.

165
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: As the ominous day drew nearer, Stephen, who despite his

166
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: confession maintained his innocence, attempted one last throw of the

167
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: dice to prove it, and so it was that in

168
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: November eighteen nineteen, he instructed his lawyer to place an

169
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: advert in the paper asking any one to come forward

170
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: who might have seen Russell Colvin a lie in the

171
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: last seven years. Then, incredibly, somebody replied in a letter

172
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: written to the New York Evening Post who syndicated Stephen

173
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: Bourne's plea. A man named tab Or Chadwick claimed that

174
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: he was in the lobby of a hotel in New

175
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: York when he overheard a group of men discussing the

176
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: Bourne's case. Chadwick was writing because he believed the description

177
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: of Russell Colvin in the advert matched the description of

178
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: a man who was living in Dover, New Jersey with

179
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: his brother in law at the time. Chadwick's letter was

180
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: published on December sixth, where it was in turn read

181
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: by another man named James Wellpley, who came forward as

182
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: one of the men that Chadwick had apparently overheard talking

183
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: about the case in the hotel lobby. Wellpley was originally

184
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: from Manchester and was well aware of Russell Colvin. It

185
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: was late in December when news reached Manchester that Wellpley

186
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: had not only managed to locate the man that Tabor

187
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: Chadwick believed to be Russell Colvin, but that the man

188
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: was in fact Russell Colvin. On December twenty second, only

189
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: a month before Stephen Bourne's execution date. A stagecoach pulled

190
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: up outside the Black Tavern in Manchester in front of

191
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: a heavy and expectant crowd, from out of which stepped

192
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: James Wellpley and the apparent Russell Colvin, returning to Manchester

193
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: after being assumed dead for seven years. It is said

194
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: that Colvin recognized people in the crowd and even conversed

195
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: with a number of them, who all happily verified his identity.

196
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: Colvin did, however, failed to recognize his own children when

197
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: they stepped forward to greet him, and when asked about

198
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: his wife, stated simply that that was all over now,

199
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: all of which was quickly washed over. When a few

200
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: minutes later Stephen Born was presented to him with his

201
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: hands and feet in chains, Colvin reportedly looked on confused

202
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: and asked what on earth he was in chains for,

203
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: to which Stephen replied frankly, because they say I murdered you.

204
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: Colvin screwed up his face and made plain to all

205
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: who were there that Stephen and his brother Jesse had

206
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: done no such thing. Clearly, as most concluded, a terrible

207
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: injustice had been meted out to the Born brothers. As

208
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: a result, the pair were quickly retried and acquitted of

209
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: all charges before finally being set free. As for the

210
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: newly returned Russell Colvin, he remained in Manchester for a

211
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: little over a week before leaving again, never to return

212
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: and there, according to many, the story is said to end.

213
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: According to Michael Dooling, however, writing in his twenty eleven

214
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: book Clueless in New England, it was some forty years

215
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: later when an undercovered Deputy US Marshall, attempting to infiltrate

216
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: a gang of counterfeiters, got talking to one of the gang,

217
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: who went by the name of Jesse Bourne. At some point, Borne,

218
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: who would have been in his late fifties by then

219
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: got to talking about past crimes, recalling with a slight

220
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: twinkle in his eye, the crazy time that he and

221
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: his brother murdered their brother in law and got away

222
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: with it by using an impostor to claim the man

223
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: was still alive. If you enjoy Unexplained and would like
