204: Wells Fargo Robbery & a Mysterious Illness

204: Wells Fargo Robbery & a Mysterious Illness

Hate ads? The entire LGTC catalog is available ad-free on Patreon!

It’s tough to rob an armored car. But on November 28, 1994, a group of men did exactly that. Their crime was brazen. They took control of the vehicle in a mall parking lot, in broad daylight. They exercised unnecessary violence, too. They shot the Wells Fargo van driver, John Magoch, in the head and left him slumped over in the front seat. When the armored car was discovered abandoned in a church parking lot a few hours later, the money — and the criminals — were long gone.

Then Brandi tells us about a mysterious illness. Janet Overton hadn’t been feeling well. She turned to doctors for answers, but couldn’t get any. Whatever plagued her was tough to identify. And then, one day, Janet collapsed in her driveway. The 46-year-old woman, who’d been healthy until recently, was now dead.

And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
