Drift into the shadows of a foggy autumn night in 1922 with True Crime Sleep Stories as host Kelli Brink unravels the chilling tale of the Lovers Lane Murders. In a quiet corner of New Jersey, a forbidden romance between a rector and a choir singer ended in a brutal crime that shocked a nation.



Found beneath a crabapple tree, their bodies were surrounded by scattered love letters, a calling card tucked grimly in the rector’s mouth.

Who pulled the trigger?

Who slashed the singer’s throat?

And why did this scandalous affair turn deadly?



Join us as we explore the suspects, the trial dubbed the “trial of the century,” and the enduring enigma of De Russey’s Lane.
