A Mild-Mannered Man: Episode 421

Always True Crime
About this episode

If you have single friends or family members you have probably been asked to introduce any single friends to them. As we know, this has the capacity to go wrong for numerous reasons.


But in the story today from London, John worked with and was good friends with Roger Frisbee who was a lovely, gentle and mild-mannered man so had no qualms introducing him to his sister June. At first things went very well and June and Roger married and had two children. But then the relationship began to deteriorate with terrible consequences.
