Summary

Join us on Crime Salad for the conclusion of The Letter where we examine the suspicious death of beloved family chiropractor Dr. Mary Yoder. At first her family thought the health enthusiast died from an undiagnosed medical condition. However, within a few weeks it was discovered she had been poisoned and those closest to her became the prime suspects. Was an anonymous letter to police the key to solving this case or was it a red herring? Even after two trials and one conviction, the aftermath of this case has tragically resulted in a family divided.  Support us! Want ad free listening?
