Crooked River
by Heywood
CROOKED RIVER is a fictional podcast narrative that spans the five-year period between September 1934 and August 1939 in post-Prohibition Cleveland, Ohio at the height of the Great Depression. During this politically turbulent time, an elusive killer decapitated and dismembered thirteen victims—seven men and six women—all under the watch of newly appointed Public Safety Director Eliot Ness, the famed G-man from Al Capone’s Chicago glory days. The disturbing crimes, the setting, and the peripheral characters, suspects and cops are real—the two lead characters (the local cop and the Federal Agent) are fictional.Created by:Dave Beazley and Casey WellsStarring:Zachary Ray Sherman as Alvin PikeJeff Tendall as Joe AntonettiMiles Sullivan as Ed KraussAndrew Garrett as Gus FrayneAlbie Selznick as Coroner PearseStephanie Myers as MargieLevi Petree as Eliot Ness and Or
