Episode 4 - The Third Time’s the Charm
 

Description

The town of Skidmore, Missouri is famous for the life and death of the town bully, Ken Rex McElroy. The tiny town of 500 people, grew even smaller as years passed. And locals began to think there was a curse because of the vigilante justice they had used to stop Ken Rex’s two decade reign of terror. But twenty years later, a disappearance and two gruesome homicides were all connected to one Skidmore family. In this episode, we are going to explore on of the most famous and disturbing cases, the murder of Bobbie Jo Stinnett, and the fetal abduction of her daughter.
