About this episode

The episode explores a murder case from 1911 involving a fork as a weapon during a domestic dispute in Pennsylvania.

Send a message to Monica and Olivia! A serving fork isn't supposed to be a murder weapon. In 1911, a Sunday evening argument in a Pennsylvania boarding house ended with one man dead and his wife under arrest for murder. But conflicting newspaper accounts soon turned my research into a detective story all its own. Featuring: De Ring Tailed Coon: The Minster Singers (1911)
