from Small Town Mysteries · host Kate, Christine, and Rachael

Send us Fan MailThis week, Kate dives into an unsolved mystery, and a rather perplexing one, at that. This one is a great example/reminder of why colonialism is bad.

There's a few theories. Some are simple, and some are sinister. Support the show
