from Going West: True Crime · host Dark West Productions
Towards the end of 1988, a recently blended family in Florida received a threatening letter in the mail, and within a few months, they all became incredibly ill. When 2 doctors concluded that they had been poisoned, an investigation into who was behind it began. Between a murder mystery weekend event, to a killing that was literally inspired by an Agatha Christie detective novel, this story really does play out like a fictional story. But it’s all real. This is the story of Peggy Carr, also known, as the Mensa Murder.BONUS EPISODESpatreon.com/goingwestpodcastThis episode is sponsored by:EazeClick the following link and use our PROMO code for 30% off your order.https://fanlink.to/eazegw PROMO code GOINGWESTTHE WELLClick the following link and use our PROMO code for 20% off your order.https://fanlink.to/wellgoingwest PROMO code GOINGWESTCASE SOURCEShttps://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/justice-story-article-1.207903https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-11th-circuit/1606616.htmlhttps://www.rounderlife.com/reasonable-doubt-murder-mystery-series-death-row-inmate-george-trepal/https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1990/04/10/poisoning-suspect-staged-murder-mystery-events/https://delanirbartlette.medium.com/george-trepal-evil-genius-69896b7c69c5https://www.floridasupremecourt.org/content/download/345265/file/01-2267_petition.pdfhttps://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1991-05-12-9105101101-story.htmlhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/207534160/peggy-jean-carrhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/213815606/parearlyn-carr Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
