Their torn-up love letters had been scattered around them like a verdict. Edward Hall was the most respected minister in town, and Eleanor Mills was one of his most devoted parishioners. The affair between them had been the worst-kept secret in the congregation for years, ignored by neighbors and tolerated by spouses, until someone decided it was time to end it. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy traces the years-long affair that divided a small New Jersey community, the two very different marriages it tore apart, and the final days before two lovers met whoever was waiting under that tree.
