PULP NONFICTION -- A celebration of the pioneers of true crime...

The Money Was The Motive

Episode 241 is another variation on one of our favorite tropes, the trunk murder. This one takes place in the Pacific Northwest when a shady couple of transients tries to pull a long con on a wealthy, recently widowed rancher. Getting rid of the body is always the tricky part.

Culled from the historic pages of True Detective Magazine, the Oregon Daily Journal and other newspapers of the era.
