Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matteris. And before it gets started with the episode, I would just like to do the usual housekeeping.

First things first, I'd like to issue a correction.

Sean got in touch with me about the Bath School Massacre episode in which I started the episode stating that 46 people died as a part of the massacre.

The correct accepted number is 45

Nice catch, Sean. A reminder, as always, if you'd like to support the podcast, you can do

so on a per episode basis through Patreon,

with a one-time donation through PayPal, or simply by rating and reviewing the podcast on iTunes.

And you can find all of those links on the Facebook.

And finally, as with other episodes about mass shootings, I will be using the name of the shooter in this case as little as possible.

And with all of that taken care of, thank you very much for listening and welcome to disaster area.

podcasts to listen to on my own time is my favorite murder. Every so often on their little mini

episodes, they share stories of listeners' hometown murders, ones which happened in their hometowns,

ones which they have a personal connection to, et cetera. While my small hometown isn't exactly

rife with stories of murder, there is a mass

murder which happened in my area, which has always fascinated me. And more than likely,

you've probably never heard of it. Now, Wilkesbury, Pennsylvania, and Scranton, Pennsylvania

make up the largest metropolitan area in northeastern Pennsylvania
