Today we bring you the story of the one and only time someone tried to enter a plea of not guilty by reason of demonic possession in the United States. The demons first started out in an 11 year old boy, and moved on to a 19 year old who went on to stab his landlord to death. Possessed, or just a convenient excuse? You decide.

Many of you know the story of the 16th President of the United States, but hopefully you'll learn something new in this episode. We tell the story of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, but also try to bring some lesser known facts... Was Lincoln a cat person or a dog person? What did he do before politics? We also delve into his continued residency at the White House, earning him the nickname "The White House Ghost"Find out how you can support the show for as little as $1 at patreon.com/corpusdelictiMusic by:Kai Engel"Daemones" Blooper music by:Art of Escapism"Coal Miners" This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

We have a special treat this week! Our very own Delictible, Crystal Watford, wrote a freaking book on the same case we had on deck for this week, so we forcefully made... umm, we  mean, nicely asked.... her to come and help us this week. The sound is a tad different because skype was being stupid, but it's such a great story. We are so grateful for Crystal for taking the time to help make sure we didn't screw this story up!In 1888, 8 year old May Hawes was found floating in East Lake by two fishermen. Meanwhile, her mother and sister were missing. What happened to May, and why does she still remain at East Lake to this day, looking for her mother and sister? Find out how you can help support the show and gain early, ad free acess to episodes, plus more @ patreon.com/corpusdelicti

On Christmas eve, a family with 9 children's home catches on fire. Five never make it out of the house alive... or do they? What caused the fire? Why were the phone lines cut? There may be more to it than meets the eye.

You may have heard of the famous play that later became a movie called Arsenic and Ole Lace, but did you know that it was inspired by a true story? Of course, the true story isn't nearly as funny as the show. Today we talk about Amy Archer Gilligan who ran one of the first versions of a private nursing home... only many of her patients never made it out.
