When the spring thaw finally surrendered their bodies, the community discovered a crime more brutal than anyone imagined. Was the killer a bitter stepfather driven by greed, or a nameless drifter exploiting the anonymity of the frontier?
This week on Dust and Echoes, James Cawley untangles the "Thicket" of circumstantial evidence surrounding one of the most haunting UNSOLVED cold cases in the American West. It is a story of mistaken identity, the fallibility of justice, and the silent ghosts of three boys whose futures were stolen by the wrong man.
