Matthew Hoffman: The Leaf Killer of Mount Vernon

A case with three gruesome murders and one twisted abduction from our home state of Ohio. We promise you’ll never look at a pile of crisp autumn leaves in the same way again.

P.S. We have an update on the Villisca murder bacon, courtesy of a patron and a former butcher we met at a bar recently. (It’s a little worse than we thought.)
