The Mortician and the Millionaire- The Bernie Tiede Case
Bernie Tiede was well liked in the small Texas town of Carthage. He sang in the church choir, could make a gourmet meal, and also was the town's local mortician who was known to work well with families- but especially widows.
In 1990 Marjorie Nugent met Bernie after he had helped her arrange her wealthy husbands funeral. And though the two were 42 years apart in age they became inseparable.
But, what everyone thought of Bernie they seemed to think the opposite of Marge- claiming she could be mean and hard to get along with.
Bernie and Marjorie's relationship would turn from world traveling and having a good time- to- a murder case that would divide this small Texas town in two. Did Marjorie's alleged abuse actually drive Bernie to murder? Or was he a money hungry man who would do anything for Marjorie's millions?
Listen to the end on this one folks! I added a bonus part after the credits.
