Hello and welcome to this week’s episode of Wives and Knives, a true crime podcast with your hosts Dani & Kelly.

Hey there everyone. Apologies for the late upload, it’s been a hectic week.

We hope you are all keeping safe & well out there, we are recording again today so hopefully you’ll get an episode out at the usual time too. 🖤 D&K xxx

This week we are talking about The famous Appalachian Trail in America and how the hikers that visit don’t always make it back from their adventure. There have been numerous deaths on the trail but limited murders, in this episode we talk about the first recorded murder in 1974; that of Joel Polson.

Please remember that we mean no disrespect to anyone mentioned in this episode, or across any of the Wives & Knives platforms.

We have an interest in true crime and related topics and whilst we may offer our own personal views on certain items it is meant to be educational and as light-hearted as possible. The information we present is collated from research gathered from the internet and we reference and credit our sources wherever possible.
