Season 6 Episode 12: A Darkness on the Edge of Town (Pt.1 of 3)

This episode contains deeply disturbing scenes of violence, murder and sexual violence toward children. Parental discretion is advised. In June 1912, one quiet rural community in southwest Iowa, USA, became the scene of one of the most brutal and inexplicable unsolved murders in American history. It remains no less shocking today than it was over 100 years ago.  Go to twitter @unexplainedpod, facebook.com/unexplainedpodcast or unexplainedpodcast.com for more info.
