Spookyween commences with an examination of dolls that just so happen to be surrounded by weird activity. It's a total coincidence, clearly. Also a coincidence: that the podcast host wouldn't allow us to upload episode art.

Thanks to sponsor Crazy is as Crazy Does: The Life of a Serial Killer by John H. Mudgett--buy it on Amazon or BN.

Go listen to Muriel's Murders because they're awesome.

Episode 5: The Widower

Another three weeks pass with no new Lovers' Lane murders. A couple in Nebraska, brought together by the eerily similar tragedies that have shaped their lives, takes an automobile ride one summer Sunday night and never returns.

The strange clues found at the murder scene raise more questions than they answer. And the town's recent rash of robberies might mean that the killer has been lurking for a while.

For early access to the Murders on Lovers' Lane miniseries (limited time) and bonus episodes of Old Timey Crimey, check out our Patreon! Audio samples and a free 7-day trial available.
