My Aunt and the Hitman: Beyond the Grave

from Foul Play: A Historical True Crime Podcast · host Shane L. Waters, Wendy Cee, Gemma Hoskins

Greenville's tangled web of intrigue begins with a note left by Sharon Birchwood... In season 15, episode 1, we unravel the complex and emotionally charged mystery surrounding my Aunt, Sharon Birchwood. Her cryptic notes hinting at betrayal paint a vivid picture of the turmoil she faced in life. Sharon was more than a victim; she was a vibrant, independent woman, entangled in family secrets and mafia connections that drew her to a perilous fate. This episode delves into the historical intrigue of a suburban life interlaced with organized crime's shadow. Investigating her murder brings disquiet to a seemingly ordinary town. Through police interrogation recordings and family testimonies, listeners gain insight into Sharon's constricting world. Who orchestrated such a calculated act? Set against the backdrop of 1980s America, where crime families ruled and fear loomed large, we explore societal attitudes towards women like Sharon, defiant yet vulnerable. Join us as we uncover the layers of Sharon's life, piecing together evidence and discovering hidden truths that many hoped would remain buried.
