Description

Donna Hall was born into a troubled family. Her mother seemed to have questionable taste in men. She met Donna's step-father when he was in prison and they got married within a year. Strangely, his last name was also Hall, and he was the prolific snitch in Philadelphia. But he wasn't just a snitch. When he wasn't being an abusive step-parent, he was often getting arrested. The get out of trouble, he would solve crimes for the police and prosecutors. The problem was, he made up all the information. He and Donna's mother engaged in elaborate storytelling to get innocent people arrested, charged, and convicted. One man is currently on death row for a crime he did not commit. 

Donna opens up about these items. She discussed the effects on her family. She has podcast series coming out to cover thhe entire stories. Oh, and the Crypt Keeper himself (Alan Katz) is part of that series.
