In this episode, Rachel tells us the story of a murderous (and all-around POS) minister and Kiki brings us the disappearance of Melanie James. Then we discuss "Hell's Half Acre: The Untold Story of the Benders, a Serial Killer Family on the American Frontier" by Susan Jonusas. We end with a brief chat about "daddy" Pedro Pascal, Star Trek, and The Mummy.
Our next book is "The Witch of New York: The Trials of Polly Bodine and the Cursed Birth of Tabloid Justice" by Alex Hortis, which we will discuss in episode 20.
