Show Notes

It was August 22, 1922, in Los Angeles, and German immigrant Fred Oesterreich was in the middle of a heated argument with his wife, Walburga “Dolly” Oesterreich. Without warning, when Fred turns around he’s face to face with a man he knew a decade ago, back in Milwaukee, and he’s holding two pistols. Fred didn’t hear the man come in, and most importantly, why was he here in the first place!?
