Why I Decapitated My Wife 

Episode 272
When I first encountered the headlines that led me to episode 272, they had me at wife decapitation, but it turns out to be so much more: a trunk murder, a sordid love triangle, a broken-hearted aged father and two poor waifs left without a mother. Plus some of the most spirited and detailed reporting you’ll find. Culled from the historic pages of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and other newspapers of the era.
