S9 E4 Bad Grandpa

from Island Crime

A double murder. A robbery motive that doesn't add up. And a family theory that's been passed down in whispers for decades.In this episode, host Laura Palmer digs into the suspect, Shauna's family calls "Bad Grandpa" Joseph Charles Phillips, a convicted predator with a grudge, a motive, and, according to someone who knew him, sudden money after the killings. Through long-buried psychiatric records, jailhouse letters, and a remarkable conversation with an 85-year-old who knew both the victims and the suspect, the story of who may have killed Andrew "Curly" and Lizzie Kostyniuk comes into sharper focus. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
