from The Felon File · host Scott Lunsford

7-x2 The 1846 Murder of Alexander Simpson in Fayetteville NC. An investigation and trial 175 years ago in 1846. Was it murder? Is it true a local Fayetteville fortune-teller foretold the death and the aftermath? Was the Soothsayer, Polly Risling, quoted in the court documents? Did the pretty young wife do it? Did she do it twice more? Why is the trial still discussed in North Carolina Law Schools to this day? Scott has the story. Listen and decide for yourself.
