In November of 1895, John Nelson would never have guessed that the unassuming stranger standing at his front door would turn his family's life upside down for the next several months. This story goes to show just how trusting we were back in the 1890s and how we'd open our homes to just about anyone. But just when you think you know who the villain of this story is, the plot twists and turns and you find out that your friend is actually your foe.

Listen in as we pick apart this murder in a cornfield and reveal more than one secret!
