Episode 3 - The Murder of Mark Niilson

John & Jeremy are back after a short hiatus. On this episode, we're heading to Sheridan and Campbell Counties for a murder. In 1928, a man walked into Sheridan and confessed to killing his father-in-law. The story spread across Wyoming in a matter of days, especially when the trial began shortly afterward. We have changed some of the names in this story since family members still reside in Northern Wyoming.

**Notice** This episode contains adult subject matter regarding murder and sexual assault. It might not be suitable for everyone. Listener discretion is advised.
