The Cemetery Road Murders: An Interview with Wes Swietek (2025)
Description
Coming to you from the library’s new podcast studio at Northside Branch, David chats with Wes Swietek, managing editor of the Bowling Green Daily News newspaper and author of The Cemetery Road Murders: The Shocking True Tale of Kentucky’s Murder Mansion, about his research into the double murder case featured in the book. Wes gives us an overview of the case and some of his thoughts about the outcomes of the trials, as well as what got him first interested in the house called Murder Mansion. The Cemetery Road Murders is available for checkout from the Library and for purchase at your favorite bookstore or from the publisher’s website.
This episode does describe the particulars of the murder and 1940s-era homophobia, so some listener discretion is advised.
