Episode 3 - The Murder of Mark Niilson

John & Jeremy are back after a short hiatus. On this episode, we're heading to Sheridan and Campbell Counties for a murder. In 1928, a man walked into Sheridan and confessed to killing his father-in-law. The story spread across Wyoming in a matter of days, especially when the trial began shortly afterward. We have changed some of the names in this story since family members still reside in Northern Wyoming.

This episode contains adult subject matter regarding murder and sexual assault. It might not be suitable for everyone. Listener discretion is advised.
