169. Rural Nonsense: HOMICIDE

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss a complicated case. Garry Farris had spent most of his life practicing law before retiring to his farm — a quiet property where he preferred routine and solitude. He was dependable, deliberate, and rarely left without telling someone where he was going.His wife, Melody, knew his habits well. So when Garry went missing, it didn’t make sense. At first, it seemed he might have wandered off somewhere on the land, but as days passed, that theory began to fade. Garry’s health made his absence more than concerning — it was dangerous.The last place he was known to be was near the burn pit, where organic materials were disposed of. It was ordinary work for him, but it became the center of the search.Confusion spread quickly. Had something happened by accident? Or had someone made sure Garry wouldn’t be found? The answer, investigators would learn, came down to motive — and opportunity.
