  • Summary

  • Hi, Curious Listener! Today's episode finds us in the small town of Apple Valley, Ohio where a massacre took place in the middle of the day. The horrific nature of the crimes rocked this community, but there is a survivor. A true hero. Today, I tell you the story of three murders and a kidnapping, of the monster who perpetrated the crime, and of the little girl who became her dad's (and a lot of other people's) hero. We also have a Chester Weger update!
