In October of 1978, Adams County was rocked by the brutal murder of 20-year-old Nancy Potts, a nurse practitioner at Adams County Memorial Hospital, who was supposed to be married on the very day her body was found.

The killing of this seemingly innocent would-be bride opened up unhealed wounds around past violent crimes in the area, including an unsolved double murder with ties to Nancy's fiancee, Kenny Ray Reichhoff. Reichhoff was actually associated with several other deaths over previous years, which impacted his reputation in the community, shocking locals when the truth of Potts's murder was finaly realized.

Scott and Mickey discuss this story, which takes place over several years. Many details remain unsolved still today, accentuating the dark secrets many small towns in Wisconsin still hold.

In the opening banter, we discuss some upcoming appearances, an earthquake in WI (what?) and some of the most famous UFO sightings in our state.

All here, on episode 44 of Badger Bizarre: "Kenny Ray & Nancy."
