#14 - One Drifter, Two Murders in Ovando...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, we check out the extremely small town of Ovando, Montana, where a drifter came into town, and committed a shocking crime. Luckily, his stupidity left a trail for police to follow, leading to his demise, and his eventual request for a good, old fashioned hanging. Find out if he gets what he wants, in the end.Along the way, we find out just how dangerous buffalo hunting was, a thousand years ago. Exactly how long people will wait for a railroad to be built, and what happens when the movie "Funny Farm" goes wrong!

Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman
