Centerville was plagued with a series of unnerving letters and an attempted murder from the late seventies until the early nineties. The writer still has not been confirmed, but there are plenty of suspects.

This episode is a classic story of love and murder from 1926. We learn about Maude Collins and her deductive prowess as well as how murder can happen even in sleepy Vinton County. As always listener discretion is advised as we discuss murder and injuries that were inflicted on one of the victims, Sarah Stout.
