Summary

Episode 3, You’re a Dead Man, takes listeners deeper into western North Dakota, the place where Victor Newberry lived and died. Glen Ullin is a small town where, as some say, “everybody knows everybody” and people are “accountable” to one another. While reflecting on those statements, host James Wolner meets two of Victor’s friends who share why he might have felt the need to look over his shoulder. Victor, known as a somewhat quiet and private man, may have been caught up in more than he let on. Documentation of an altercation also surfaces, raising new questions in the mysterious 2014 death of this Glen Ullin bartender.
