    The Killing Field
    Oct 19 2022

    In this episode we discuss the area of I-45 just south of Houston, heading towards Galveston. Over the years, many women and girls have gone missing along this thoroughfare and many have been found murdered. So many in fact, that this stretch of highway has been referred to by the police, FBI and locals as "The Killing Fields". This Texas Tale highlights four of the victims that presumably have nothing in common, except their final resting place.

I love this!

I found this accidently, and I am glad I did. I feel like I know these guys, they remind me of people I have socialized with on a regular basis over the years. I want to meet them! I like the ambience, the content, the interaction between the talent.

Do ya'll even try to get the facts correct?

Bolivar is not south of Galveston
Bolivar is not an island
You do not need a ferry to get cattle or anything else from Bolivar to orange or Beaumont
I don't have the time to go beyond this or point out all of the incorrect "facts".
