Megan is bringing you her very first deep dive in a well known case from her educated perspective. It is not often that we bring heavily covered cases to the podcast but even if you have heard this case before, hopefully you will learn something from this legal perspective. Besty Faria was found dead by her husband in her home with a knife sticking out of her neck and her wrist cut nearly to the bone. Through manipulation and narrow focus of investigatory work Betsy's husband was wrongfully imprisoned for three and a half years. Then in 2016 a man named Louis Gumpenberger was shot dead by a woman named Pam Hupp. Hupps defense was not so well thought out this time however.

What ensues goes down in history as one of New Orleans most brutal murders of the time, and yet the killer goes on to harm again and the story is shrouded now within the folklore of the "sausage ghost" used to entertain tourists but lets us not forget that two lives were tragically taken and concealed in a most gruesome way.

Eldon Anson was misunderstood in the small town of Huntington Indiana. He was worldly and cultured in ways others didn't understand in 1989. Coupled with naivety and misinformation three high school seniors who were well respected, well liked and had their entire lives ahead of them take it upon themselves to deliver justice on Eldon based on all the misinformation. This case is an excellent example of how poisonous rumors can be and for one teen, how being in the wrong place at the wrong time can change the trajectory of a life, especially if you keep secrets for people you think are your friends.
