In 2002, investigators found more than 300 bodies on a property in Noble, Georgia.

Get to this property, there's a mysterious man, there's bodies everywhere in every state of decay.

It might have looked like something out of a horror movie, but the truth was more complicated.

I'm Kathleen Goldthar, and this week on Crime Story, I sit down with the host of one of the most

critically acclaimed podcasts of the year, Noble. Find Crime Story, wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a CBC original podcast. Hi, it's Lou. Just a heads up that the first story in today's episode deals with some very

sensitive subject matter. If you'd like to skip ahead, jump to minute 16.

every inmate has their own like cork board where you're allowed to put up pictures of whatever you want and normally normally I didn't used to put anything on my cork board because I found it depressing.
