Grandpa Murdered Grandma

Chris Gethard
About this episode

An heirloom ring, a tiny island in the middle of a lake, a tragic murder, a malfunctioning gun, addiction, rehab, recovery, long-distance love, poetry. It’s the kind of story a true crime podcast could easily spend an entire season on. But we only get one hour with this week’s caller. And what a compelling hour it is. It’s a dark story, but our caller tells it with so much heart–and because it’s Beautiful/Anonymous, she and Geth find plenty to laugh about along the way.
