The Tri-State Head and Hands Murder Plot
The cast of characters in Episode 147 includes a previously convicted murderer who works as a driver and a “sort of secretary” for an eccentric former opera singer, three thugs that he met in prison, and a fire captain who often bragged of his success in the stock market after his retirement, amassing a fortune of more than $2 million (in today’s money). The inept plot to murder for his papers covers three states and a nationwide manhunt.
