S2 E16: This week, we had a surprise guest on the show, who filled in briefly for Lili, as her voice kept trying to slip away. 

We first talk about the Belle Gunness, better known as the Black Widow of the Midwest. It was said that she killed many people throughout her life, including her own children.  It was also said that she had a temper that could change at the drop of a hat. Yet, she was able to hide this sinister secret hobby very well.

Then our surprise guests tells us about The Old Lake County Jail in Crown Point, Indiana. Also known as the Sheriff's House and Jail, it’s a historic building with a fascinating history. One of the most notable aspects of the Old Lake County Jail is its association with the infamous American gangster, John Dillinger.
