Show Notes

On Monday, September 25, 1967, four children - in first and second grade at St. Joseph Catholic School - found an unusual package on their playground. It was a brown paper sack, which the children were kicking around the alley and throwing at each other. The principal, Sister Illuminata, confiscated the bag and looked inside. When opened, the principal found five dismembered toes and part of a foot.

This episode is based on chapter 9 of Gavin Schmitt's book: Fox Cities Murder & Mayhem
