In recent decades, “the husband did it” has become a popular catchphrase in the true crime community. But some murders aren’t so cut-and-dry. In October 1988, 41-year-old Peggy Carr began to feel very ill as she finished her waitressing shift in Alturas, Florida. What started as a sharp pain in her chest early in the day, progressed to a painful burning sensation in her hands and legs. It was excruciating. Peggy’s mysterious symptoms baffled doctors. Was this a terminal illness? A rare virus? Or, could someone have done something to her? As doctors scrambled to make sense of what was happening, a sinister truth was exposed. They say the devil’s in the details. Sometimes the most insidious kind of evil lurks in the most unexpected places.
