The Main/Swayne Affair




True Crime Historian show

Summary: UNSOLVED: A special edition of Yesterday’s News exploring one of history’s most baffling murder mysteries.<br>The Napavine Hatchet Murder<br>When I started in on Episode 371, I thought it was going to be a salacious story of a seedy sexual situation gone awry. What turned out to be more interesting is the subplot of the district attorney forced to bring a half-baked case to trial in order to avoid the appearance of his own complicity in a rumored conspiracy. <br>Culled from the historic pages of the Tacoma Times, the Oregon Daily Journal, and other newspapers of the era.<br>***<br>Show recommendation of the week - TRUE CRIME FAN CLUB.
