Summary

A huge thank you to Cynthia Boatright Raleigh for sending us the script for this week's episode. Her excellent research and writing skills make for an
excellent story.

On December 2, 1954, Mary Holland was found dead on the floor of her liquor store bathroom. Her hands were tied behind her back and a .38 caliber bullet in her skull.

Three weeks later Wesley Kerr was found dead at the gas station where he worked. Hands tied behind his back and with a gunshot wound to the head.

It seemed Evansville, Indiana had a killer on the loose.

Join Cam and Jen, with the help of Cynthia Boatright Raleigh, as they discuss Leslie "Mad Dog" Irvin: Indiana Serial Killer
