A parish priest was found dead and a confession quickly came, but what the killer said happened

and what the state pieced together were not the same thing, and it would be up to a jury to decide

if this was manslaughter or was it murder. I'm Charlie and welcome to crime lines.

Thank you. or was it murder? I'm Charlie and welcome to crime lines. Hello and welcome to crime lines. Before we get started, I wanted to give a quick shout

out to a listener of mine, Christy, who has a podcast called Making of a Musician. I was excited to hear from her because she is doing

something that not a lot of people do. She did one season of that podcast that ended in 2017,

and then she just picked it back up for season two. I feel like a lot of podcasts that are put on

hiatus just never come back. Or a lot of

knitting projects that end up in the back of your closet unfinished never come back out, or that

book you started 10 years ago is still sitting saved on your hard drive. This is your reminder that

you can always get back to your project hobbies or interests,

even if you took a break from it.

So go ahead and support Christy by checking out making of a musician wherever you get your

podcasts.

And if the timing is right for you, go pick up that incomplete project of yours that you've

always wanted to finish.

Also, stay tuned after the closing music this week because I do have updates on

two cases I've covered in the past. The first is the Carol Blades murder that I covered in

2019, and then we're going to talk about the Allens Town 4 slash Bear Brook case that I covered

in 2022. So with that, let's go ahead and get into today's case.
