In today's episode we take a long look at St. Paul, Minnesota. Malinda starts us off with history and how St. Paul was one of the safest cities at the beginning of the 1900's. Megan then covers Ann Bilansky who was the first white person and only woman to be hanged in Minnesota. Malinda then shares the rise and fall of the Barker/Karpis gang. They were one of the most notorious gangs during the Great Depression. If you stick around until the end, you can hear about some odd laws and facts about St. Paul and Minnesota in general.
