In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna have an incredible conversation with podcasting superstar, Lauren Bright Pacheco. They speak about Lauren's career journey and then dig deep into the assassination of Mr. Michael Francke & wrongful conviction of Frank Gable. This is also the subject of Lauren's show Murder in Oregon. In January of 1989 the dir. of Oregon’s Department of Corrections, Michael Francke, was brutally stabbed to death outside his office in Salem. It was quickly ruled a “car burglary gone wrong” and pinned on a low-level drug dealer named Frank Gable, a man who Francke's own brother, Kevin, along with storied Oregon reporter Phil Stanford, believe has been wrongfully imprisoned for nearly 30 years. They believe Francke had uncovered a trail of corruption in the prison system— one that led to the top of Oregon’s political establishment.  Listen to all of Lauren's shows by going to: https://www.podchaser.com/creators/lauren-bright-pacheco-107Zzomk9H Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/murder-in-oregon/id1478138996 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2RtBlo8AEmy2eEgYmY1tFc?si=c1a348e7d6c34e4d Follow Lauren: Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/BrightPacheco Consider supporting Frank Gable by going to: https://www.gofundme.com/f/rf5z2h-frank-gable-freedom-fund This episode is brought to you in part by our wonderful sponsors, ButcherBox The God Pod & Best Fiends.
