In 1987, three bodies were found in an isolated cabin off Consolidated Road in Preble County, outside Eaton. Authorities figure two of the victims (Melinda Newcomb and Donnie Marker) were killed for stumbling across a murder in progress, but the motivation behind the death of the original target (David Smelser) is a mystery. www.ohiomysteries.comf[email protected] www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Rattlesnake Whiskey, by The Shootouts.
