Summary

Bernie Tiede worked at a funeral home in Carthage Texas. Bernie was a people person, he sang in the church choir, and he presided over many of the funerals in town. He was one of the most well-liked individuals in Carthage. Bernie met Marjorie Nugent when he presided over her husband's funeral in 1990. This encounter began a strange relationship that progressed from Bernie working for Marjorie and moving into her house to Bernie killing Marjorie and spending much of her vast fortune.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss this strange story of murder in East Texas. This is a case that has to be peeled back because there are so many layers to it. So many people in Carthage liked Bernie Tiede that they were on his side when it came to murder charges. The case is so intriguing that a movie was made about it in 2012 starring Jack Black as Bernie. Did the events of Marjorie Nugent's murder, the cover up, and the financial crimes committed afterwards happen the way Bernie said they did?
