Send a message to Monica and Olivia!
June 9th, 1911 brought a giant shock for the tiny community of Ardenwald, OR. A highly regarded family—William and Ruth Hill, and Ruth's children Philip and Dorothy Rintoul—who had just moved into the area were massacred in a most brutal way in their tiny cabin in the middle of the night. The detectives scrambled to find justice for this family for years but every lead fell flat.
A botched investigation saw an innocent man charged for the crime. Listen while Monica fact checks every libelous story printed about Nathan B. Harvey in the 1911 newspapers! Then we take a look at a few other suspects that were on law enforcement's radar. Finally, we look at a few other characters that probably should have been on their radar. We go deep into the life of Corwin S. Harvey to see just what he was up to for the rest of his life.
