Due to Scott’s recovery from the covid virus and pneumonia.  New Podcast episodes may be delayed.   Enjoy this re-edited previously posted episode.
The Murder of 17-year-old Muriel Baldridge in 1947.  Found beaten to death under a bridge the morning of June 28,  in Prestonsburg, Kentucky.
This story is the most listened to story on Scott’s Podcast.
The Murder after decades of investigation by local, state, and federal investigators follows a strange path of confessions, retracted confessions, and finally a sensational trial with a controversial verdict.
To this day the case remains unsolved. Thought of as one very confusing investigation and legal case in Eastern Kentucky if not the Southern United States. 
The Podcast starts with a ballad telling the story of the tragic event from the Appalachian Mountains. The Ballad was written in 1949, the recording made in 1977.
