Episode 16: Last Rites


Listen Later

It was the spring of 1941 and William Huffman, the reverend of Redstar Baptist Church in Cape Girardeau, was relaxing before turning in for the night. Around 9:30 that evening, the telephone rang, with the voice on the other end asking the reverend to come a short distance out of town to perform the last rites at the site of a plane crash. A car pulled into his driveway shortly afterwards to chauffeur the reverend to the scene of the disaster, and upon his arrival at the crash site, the Reverend Huffman would be thrust into a situation that would remain hidden from popular culture for another 50 years. Join us in this episode as we look at religious ritual, aircraft disasters, and untold secrets that wouldn’t come to light until decades later, and how they became a part of… the Show-Me.
