Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger revisit a murder nearly two centuries old — a killing so brutal it shook the quiet town of Chepachet, Rhode Island to its core. The crime of May 26, 1826 left such a deep scar on the community that a plaque still stands today, marking the very spot where blood was spilled. And every year since, the town gathers to remember the tragedy in a surprisingly BIG way.

What happened that day? And why does this grim anniversary continue to loom so large in Chepachet’s history? Jeff and Ray dig into the clues left behind.
