SEASON 1 presents "That's How the Story Goes: the Hall-Mills Murders Podcast." In 1922, near the banks of the Raritan River, a small city priest and a choir singer were slaughtered in the one of the most infamous unsolved double homicides of the 20th century. Incompetent cops, political operatives, and the poorest and most powerful families in New Jersey were all swallowed in the circus that followed. One hundred years later, a group of researchers and artists have collaborated with the church most closely associated with the murders to explore the personal and social consequences of the crime. Join us as we explore a horrific mystery, and together we'll learn what it means to us as citizens…
A church archive meets a veteran's college calculus, and your true-crime shelf suddenly needs an annex.
