Summary

Hi friends, happy Tuesday!

Today, we're diving into the strange and twisted story of Michele Linehan, a former exotic dancer whose life took a dark turn straight out of a noir film. This is a case of charm, manipulation, and cold calculation… with a shocking murder at its core.

Was she a cold-blooded femme fatale? Or just a woman caught in the wrong place with the wrong people? Let’s get into it.

Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon

Hi friends, how are you today? It's me, Bailey Sarian. I have an audio exclusive today,

0:05.7

just for you listeners out there. Today's story takes us to the remote town of Hope, Alaska,

0:13.4

where on a chilly May morning, two electrical workers stumbled upon a body, and it just, woo, woo!

0:23.6

Before we get there, that's where we meet Michelle Hughes.

0:28.6

Michelle was born in 1973 as the youngest of two daughters and a military family, which meant

0:34.6

the Hughes family, they moved around a lot. They eventually settled in New Orleans.

0:38.9

So they were there for a while. And when Michelle was 12 years old, her parents decided to

1:23.8

1:28.9

I don't know who he was.

1:34.3

And we would take our shirts off

1:36.0

and they would feel our back.

1:37.3

1:41.4

Thank you, right?
