Blind Love: The Murder of Linda Curry

Blind Love: The Murder of Linda Curry

I always loved the old “Twilight Zone” series. In most of the stories, ordinary people would wake up one morning and find themselves in a world that had changed in some crucial, baffling way. Everybody else would be in on the change, going around like nothing had happened, and the hero would have to figure out how to navigate this scary new reality. It’s fun to watch, when it’s fiction. But what if you woke up one morning and realized you were living your own version of that story? That all the trappings of your comfortable life were as flimsy as a sheet of painted canvas, hiding a nightmare underneath? What if the person you loved and trusted most had been in on the joke all along…and the joke is on you? Join us for the story of Paul Curry, a Mensa member and two-time Jeopardy champ whose charms were only skin deep.Sources:https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/timeline-investigating-the-death-of-linda-curry/11/https://www.grunge.com/493987/the-truth-about-the-jeopardy-winner-who-murdered-his-wife/https://www.leagle.com/decision/incaco20170629061CBS's "48 Hours," episode "To Catch a Genius"CNBC's "American Greed," episode "Recipe for Murder"Investigation Discovery's "Charmed to Death," episode "A Life in Jeopardy"Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfireFacebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.
