Rom Crime

Cyranoville Letter Writer

In this weeks episode Vonia covers Steve Martins interpretation of Cyrano de Bergerac, Roxanne! It’s a tale as old as time. Man with huge nose falls in love with beautiful woman. Beautiful woman falls for local hottie. Local hottie is a complete moron so man with huge nose writes love letters to beautiful woman on his behalf. You know that typical old song and dance. There are certainly aspects of this movie that don’t pass the smell test (HAHA!!!) but it’s still an awful lot of fun. I mean Steve Martin wrote it so you know it’s a good time!

Then Averyn tells the, will it ever be solved, mystery of the Circleville Letter Writer. In 1976 the residents of Circleville, Ohio started receiving anonymous letters written in strange block lettering that aimed to share everyone’s darkest secrets (and it turned out there were A LOT of dirty little secrets). These letters would continue to be sent out regularly for almost two decades. The effects were catastrophic with one man dying (possibly murdered), an attempt on a local woman’s life, and a possibly innocent man spending 10 years in prison. The identity of the Circleville Letter Writer is still unknown (according to some) and with the last letter having been sent almost 30 years ago will the truth ever come to light?
