A quiet Southern bookstore. Two employees dead. And a robbery that felt too clean to be random.
In 1986, a double murder inside a small-town bookstore in Shelby, North Carolina left the local LGBTQ+ community reeling. At first, it seemed like a botched theft. But as details surfaced about who the victims were—and who frequented the store—many began to suspect something more sinister.
This episode peels back the layers of a case that blends Southern secrecy, queer-coded fear, and a lingering sense that justice may never have been served.
Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.
