186: Christmas at the Cabin: The Murders of Kaye Tiede and Beth Potts

About this episode

The episode discusses the tragic murders of Kaye Tiede and Beth Potts during a family Christmas tradition in 1990.

The Tiede family had been looking forward to their annual tradition. Every Christmas, they'd venture up to their remote cabin in the thick, snowy woods where they would decorate a Christmas tree and exchange gifts. But in December of 1990, their place of serenity and peace would be forever changed by two men that had recently escaped a halfway house.
