Love Triangles & Lies- The Murder of Forrest Teel
From the outside, Forrest Teel's life looked perfect. He's got a wonderful family, a nice car, and making good money as the executive for Eli Lilly. Not everything was perfect though, he was having a VERY long affair with not one, but two women.
In 1958 his mistress, Connie Nichols, had enough and was ready to end her 15 year affair with him. That night, her gun accidentally went off killing Forrest Teel in his car. Was this really accident or was it self-defense?

The Storyville Slayer
This one is a doozy so listen with caution!
Between 1991 and 1996 over 24 women were murdered and discovered years later in New Orleans. When the alledged killer, "Clay," calls in to the Howard Stern show in 1997, that's when pieces of this 24 year-old cold case starts to come together. Listening to the timeline, it will still make you question if "Clay" was the person who killed all of these women or was someone else involved.
