The Skull Under the Shrub: Linda Sherman's Unsolved Murder
The Skull Under the Shrub: Linda Sherman's Unsolved Murder
Five years after a St. Louis County mother vanished, her skull was found under a shrub in Bridgeton, Missouri, not buried or hidden, but simply resting there. This discovery reclassified her disappearance as a homicide, yet the man police suspected was already out of reach. What truly happened to Linda Sherman on that ordinary Monday evening in April 1985?
In this episode, we delve into the baffling disappearance and murder of Linda Sherman, a 27-year-old mother whose case remains unsolved. We examine the details of her last known day, her troubled marriage, and the strange circumstances surrounding the discovery of her remains. Was her husband, Don Sherman, involved, and why was no one ever charged?
