About this episode

The episode discusses the discovery of a body by a caretaker in Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1990.

Late in the afternoon on March 20, 1990, Jim Hannigan, a caretaker for the Carney property, was checking property lines and fences near Clayton Expressway in Fort Smith, Arkansas when he saw something in the distance. At first, he thought it might be a dead animal. But when he got closer, he realized it was not an animal. It was a body.  If you have a case you’d like me and my team to look into, you can reach out to us at our Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145.  IG: @hellandgonepod See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
