#123 - Bees, Syrup & Leeches in White Ea...

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in White Earth, Minnesota, a simple trip into the woods to go "syrupin'" ends in a well liked guy, being found, face down in the mud. There are quite a few suspects, due to the family's overcrowded living conditions, but in the end, one person, who doesn't even live with the victim begins to stand out. But did he do it? Or, was he trying to get bank loans, to start a "leeching business", while the murder occurred? Help us untangle this mess!!

Along the way, we find out there is an awful lot that goes into making syrup, that leeches sound like a bad investment for a bank, and that nothing in rural Minnesota is what it seems!!


Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman
