The Murder of Edwina Marter

It was January 12, 1976, in the quiet town of Mississippi City. Edwina Marter, just 34 years old, was at home with her youngest son when a stranger came to the door posing as a utility worker. That man was Richard Jordan, a Vietnam veteran desperate for money. This episode dives deep into the events of that day, the decades-long legal battle that followed, and the emotional toll on the Marter family.
