John Terrell’s Trials and Tribulations: A Conversation with Author Stephen Terrell

On November 16, 1959, National Airlines Flight 967 took off from Tampa, Florida. The aircraft never made it to its destination: New Orleans, Louisiana. It went down over the Gulf of Mexico. All 42 souls on board died in the crash.Was this a freak tragedy? Or something far more sinister?Author Jerry Jamison covers the case in his latest book. We interviewed him about the twisty case in this episode.Read Vanishing Act: A Crashed Airliner, Faked Death, and Backroom Abortions by Jerry Jamison — support your local bookstores and order here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/vanishing-act-a-crashed-airliner-a-faked-death-and-backroom-abortions-jerry-jamison/21671581?ean=9798881802936&next=tFollow Jerry Jamison on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jerryjamisonauthor/Pre-order our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Check out more inclusive sizing and t-shirt and merchandising options here: https://themurdersheet.dashery.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.It’s hot enough this summer.

Correction: In most capital cases, the jury decides whether or not a convict gets the death penalty, not the judge. Only a few states ever allow judges to override a jury and order the death penalty.
