Show Notes

Thanks to our Mysterious Listener Emmett whose enthusiasm for Crime Classics brings us to the Listener Library for an episode entitled “The Crime of Bathsheba Spooner!” Based on the true story of the first woman to be executed in the United States, the script depicts her plot to murder her own husband. How did the man really die? Who all would suffer the consequences? Did Joshua do a whole bunch of extra research do put the story in an even darker context? Listen for yourself and find out!
