Description

 The Scoundrel John Arthur Pender

In episode 259, a woman and her toddler son are brutally murdered in their remote Oregon cabin. Suspicion falls on a neighbor who had been given their mail, found unopened at the crime scene. With intense courtroom testimony and a handful of plot twists, this one will keep you guessing. Did he, or didn’t he?

Culled from the historic pages of the Oregon Daily Journal, the Oregonian, and other newspapers of the era.
