"I'm living my true crime fantasy right now," remarks Stephen as like many of us it's easy to fall down a true crime rabbit hole. You click one YouTube video then the next thing you know you've watched 300 hours of police interrogation footage, watched whatever the latest Netflix thing is (anyone else watching The Menendez Brothers show?) and then turned around and further explored those topics on your own true-crime podcast. Well welcome to the final step of that process, and Stephen has been thinking about this one for a while.
It's been two years since the murder of Brad McGarry, an openly gay coal miner from Bellaire, Ohio who was found dead in his basement by his best friend David. Brad had faced great difficulty growing up as an openly gay man, and even though he still faced some prejudice over it the police simply couldn't connect anyone to the crime. But things took a turn investigators didn't expect when Brad's neighbor informed them he'd been having a secret affair for some years with none other than David, who was married and not openly gay. Could a lover's quarrel be the cause of Brad's murder? tune-in to find out!
