This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised.

We walked you through the shocking double-murder case that started with a confession from college student Harry Edward Kilgore, then took the first of many unexpected turns when an alleged accomplice–George Daggitt, a music professor from that same college– was named. 

This week we have the privilege to speak with Wes Swietek, author of the book “The Cemetery Road Murders: The Shocking True Tale of Kentucky’s Murder Mansion.” 

What happened to Harry Kilgore and George Daggitt after the final trial? What was the true story behind the alleged extortion scheme? Did the jury make the right decision regarding George Daggitt’s guilt? And what really happened that fateful night in June of 1948 when Charles and Martha Martin were brutally murdered in their own home?

We discuss all this and so much more in this lively interview with author Wes Swietek. So be sure to travel to Cemetery Road with us for this glimpse inside the notorious Murder Mansion.
