In this episode, we will take a look at the legendary Bad Amos Fugate and his reign of terror on Eastern Kentucky. Was Bad Amos a spree killer? Or, will some of you regard him as a serial killer? Will others think he was accused of crimes he didn’t commit?
By the end of the story, you may even ask yourself, “Was Bad Amos himself brutally murdered?" Sources:
