Bumble Bee Road Murders // 216

from Going West: True Crime · host Dark West Productions

In 2003, a young couple was camping in their pick-up truck in a remote part of the Arizona desert to celebrate their anniversary. But before they could return home, they were murdered in the back of the truck. With few clues left behind, could the photos on their disposable camera help piece together the truth? This is the story of Brandon Rumbaugh and Lisa Gurrieri, otherwise known as the Bumble Bee Road Murders.BONUS EPISODESpatreon.com/goingwestpodcastCASE SOURCES1.
