Summary

On July 17th, 1983 Sandy Bird, a wife, and mother of three died in a tragic car accident when her vehicle ran off a bridge and fell down an embankment. The police initially declared her death an accident, but a more thorough investigation revealed an affair and a failed murder-for-hire plot.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the Reverand Thomas Bird. Police eventually zeroed on Bird for the murder of his wife. They also learned that he was having an affair with his church secretary, Lorna Anderson. When Lorna's husband Marty was shot to death later in 1983, police began looking at Thomas for his involvement in Marty's murder.
