We've all heard the phrase, that kind of thing doesn't happen in our town.

But here on Midwest murder, we will shatter that false reality.

In fact, it happens more often than we know, and sometimes the details of the most horrific crimes that

happen in our neighborhoods are lost in the back pages of newspapers, forgotten on our news channels,

and eventually erased over time. We're here to talk about murder, diving into some of the most

controversial cases in Midwest history. This show will not shy away from the morbid details of these horrific

events and the often ugly truths behind them. What you will hear is a detailed timeline of events,

perspectives from those closely involved, and analysis by experts. What you will feel is the darkness

that surrounds each story, the innocence lost by the victims,

and hopefully the justice that was ultimately delivered.

Here we are. Rapid City for the first time back in three years as Midwest murder.

We are here at Hay Camp Brewing, and what an awesome place. They've leveled up quite a bit

from the last time you were here too. They were awesome then. Now they've got pinball. There's a

comic shop next door. Rapid City seems to be leveling up. We like to be down here and we appreciate

everybody being part of the audience with us tonight. And we appreciate everyone who takes a little bit of time

out of their busy life to jump on the Apple Podcasts app and give us a review. That helps us a lot.

It helps other people decide maybe whether or not they want to check us out, helps us get recognized

in the algorithms. So that little 39 second moment of grace that you extend us in a review, man, it is so deeply appreciated.

We're sitting at about 911.

We really want to get to a thousand.
