It would be good for you guys to know what a house coat is. It actually is not a jacket. Nor is it a coat. It's an article of clothing women would wear only in the house, over their underwear, when they were doing household tasks. Similar function/purpose to an apron--to protect the clothing underneath--but fashioned like a robe. Usually three-quarter length sleeves. Buttons or snaps up the front. Mid calf length. Light weight cotton fabric.

Delaware mentioned! 😅
If you want to listen to the story, you'll need to skip ahead 12 minutes and 5 seconds.
my last rental car had blood smeared on the ceiling panel. 🙃
I think I could figure out what I was doing 2 years ago if I was checking my messages and photos, but in the 1800's there were no phones
This lady slept with half the town, had multiple abortions, killed her husband, strangled her baby, but don’t you dare call her a slut! This Kate woman is a liberal idiot.
The Arizona Republic (the publication this reporter worked for) as a 6 episode season from 2019 called "Rediscovering: Don Bolles" for those interested in this case.
I also had the pregnancy carpel tunnel. Not fun but passed in a reasonable time.
disgusting that this predator got away with such prolonged abuse.
This was fascinating! I have read and listened to accounts of this crime before but had never heard the theory that Paul posits here.
What happened to Paul? Cut off at the end of the episode..
I think Ruth left the Campsite in the RV of her own accord and Tony followed her in the Scout vehicle. He caolught up to her and she parked it, got out and they had an altercation. He killed her, threw her body over the embankment, and then shoved the RV after her to make it look like an accident
i think if he just wanted to spare the girls, he wouldn't be more vicious with them compared to the boys. sick or not, he's a disgusting chauvinistic asshole.
I book marked this podcast because I thought it looked good.... Forgot about it for nearly a year and gave it a try a few months back. I was missing out, it's growing as one of my favorite podcasts. Two thumbs up!
buuuutt....he also said "bunny" so what do you expect? he's all of our family now, ma'am.
Love this podcast, bu the random and numerous ads are putting me off. M8ght have to give it a miss in the future.
blows my mind when a well known college professor and writer says "all the sudden". smh.
