About this episode

For almost fifty years, the murders of two people in the tiny northern Vermont village of Hardwick have gone unsolved. The rumors in town ran almost as rampant as the fear, but whether any of the chatter about what happened to the victims is true remains to be seen nearly five decades later. 

  • If you have information relating to the 1977 homicides of Joan Gray Rogers or Bernard Ewen, please contact the Vermont State Police. You can text VTIPS to 274637 or submit a tip via the form linked in the description of this episode.
