On Christmas Day 1977, a man walks into the Madison Police Department and confesses to helping bury a body in the snow. What unravels next is a tangled web of deceit, dual identities, suspicious life insurance policies, and two mysterious deaths—both men deeply involved with the same woman.

Or the perfect scapegoat? 🛑 Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, mental health, and graphic content related to murder. Listener discretion is advised.
