The Red Barn Murder
Happy solstice, listeners! Join our guest host this week, Sapphire Sandalo, for a summertime tale of betrayal, murder, and the bizarre journey of a criminal corpse. It's 1827, and the Marten family hasn’t seen 25-year-old Maria in five months, ever since she left home with plans to elope with William Corder. Whenever they ask about her, William always has an explanation for why she hasn’t visited or written a letter. So, they haven’t worried too much.Until now. Maria’s stepmother, Ann, is haunted by troubling nightmares in which Maria isn’t living out her “happily ever after” at all. In fact, if Ann’s visions are correct, Maria is dead…and she’s buried down the road, in their village’s Red Barn.
