Bernadette Lesage was a 21 year old woman living in Burlington, Vermont. She and a friend went to eat on the lawn of a church one sunny July day in 1980. A disturbed and mentally ill man rushed her and beat her to death with a lead pipe. The 2 were strangers, and what lead this man to commit such a heinous murder left us sad, frustrated, and confused. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss Louis Hines and the murder of Bernadette Lesage.
