## Resource

The Snyder-Gray Affair Jump to the AD-FREE Safe House Edition Episode 486 takes us to a Dutch Colonial on 222nd Street in Queens Village, where a housewife, a Methodist corset salesman, and a crooked Prudential agent put together the most famous botched murder of the Jazz Age. Damon Runyon called it the Dumbbell Murder. The electric chair called it Thursday. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support .
