YESTERDAY’S NEWS -- Tales of classic scandals, scoundrels and scourges told from historic newspapers in the golden age of yellow journalism.
A Band-Aid Solution To The Mystery
Episode 370 tells the story of a World War II era veteran whose mental issues earned him an honorable discharge from service, but he slips through the system, wreaking havoc among the women in the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania. What does it take to get creeps like this off the street? Murder, apparently.
Culled from the historic pages of the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, the Wilkes-Barre Record, and other newspapers of the era.
