Summary

On the morning of September 5th, 1917, the body of sixteen-year-old Beatrice Epler was discovered just yards away from her Alma, Michigan home. Caught up in the murder investigation would be a brothel madam, the owner of a traveling theater company, a local farmer and a French-Canadian amateur detective. My guest is Allie Seibert, author of Bloodstained: Exploring Michigan's Darkest Murders Forgotten By Time. She walks us through this unsolved mystery and shares some of the strange twists she was able to uncover while researching this long forgotten case.
