The Grinning Skull

About this episode

The Ridde Of The Grinning Skull
She led police to the body of her husband, but when she saw the mocking skull they dug up, a second murder came to light.

By Frederic O. Schultze

Ad Free Safe House Edition 

Adapted from True Detective Mysteries, V. 7; No. 4; July, 1927

Episode 287 is a first person account from a police reporter who admits to unethical snooping in trying to get to this story. But it’s the tale of a triangle so twisted, that I’ll forgive him for his indiscretions.
