It’s also about one family with many connections, reaching back to our last season and the Rebecca Briggs Cornell story. Join us as we investigate the misfortunes that have befallen this infamous town for more than 150 years.

This story came from a longtime Tenfold More Wicked listener and distant relative of the victim. Believe it or not, this case is still local lore for residents of the area.

This episode isn’t about a typical true crime story. There’s no murder, but there doesn’t need to be to make it a wild story. This is about manipulation, tragedy…and obsession. Lots of obsession. Author Michael Finkel documented all of it in his book: The Art Thief.

So sick of the woke ideology. The point here has nothing to do with the story she is telling, but she always has to fit it in, even when it is not pertinent. I mean she chose this story, so WTH?
Thank you for this! I look forward to hearing more!
While I was reading this book I would have to stop because I would get so mad. Tragic
It blows my mind that she's a journalist, writer, etc, and makes so many grammatical errors.
Mark your bingo card. The host works in misogyny even in a story where a female viciously murders another female. Mentions how women are judged in the press on looks, but doesn't opine at all when a female reporter judges the looks of the husband. How bout just tell the story and don't inject this mess into it. It is not germaine at all to this story.
do
Always brings skin color into every episode. Please just tell the story
Another excellent series!
Couldn't figure out why they were taking the man's side as we all know that is statistically who kills a partner...BUT, he is gay, so had to stay woke! Made sense when that came out 15 or 20 minutes in. Everything after is defending the guy man who killed his wife, facts be damned.
A shame, few facts, but plenty of woke speculation and racism. An X supposedly carved into the victim was because of the Confederate flag, with absolutely nothing but supposition from the author to suggest it. We get it, black = good, white = bad. Just tell the story.
Unbelievable condescension from this guest to literally everyone. #Liberal
He didn't get away with it he had a heart attack in prison.
I love when authors are brought on for this podcast! I always learn about a new author or book to check out.
Bleach also kills HIV and hepatitis C: Soak the item to be sterilized in undiluted bleach for 30 seconds to kill HIV; 2 minutes for hep C.
This was a great one!
What a theatrical death, and how admirable. That would be me, turning to watch the blade as it dropped.
Lizzie just got greedy and decided she didn't want to share her inheritance with her stepmother. See my website here: goappsplay.com/kinemasterdiamondmodapk/
I think Lizzie just got greedy and decided she didn't want to share her inheritance with her stepmother. Perhaps she was influenced by her older sister; I think it's unlikely that Emma was completely in the dark about the murder, given their closeness, but it was definitely about inheritance (an age old motive)
It's a well known fact that poverty leads to increased crime. The Supreme Court knows this, or they should, yet their actions will directly force millions into poverty, which will lead to a massive increase in crime. The facts are well established and understood by those smart enough to put two and two together; but for wealthy, out of touch religious crusaders, the only thing that matters is the power to impose their personal whims on the population.
