Max’s The Idaho College Murders (2023)
Today's episode is special. We are going back and taking a look at two of our controversial cases. We invited our supportive husbands, Wes and Emery, so discuss both of these cases and get their opinions. Join us this week as we discuss these awful cases.
In May of 2005, 4 teens were gunned down in the early morning hours by an unknown person or persons. One of the teens, Donte Ward, was connected to a known Detroit drug ring run by Cherylethia “Bunny” Holmes. The other three, Eddrick Clark, Michael Dillon, and Megan Post, were collateral damage as witnesses to an alleged hit that was put out on their friend. The case is not cold, but it is not solved. Who committed these Huntington Murders? Join us in the closet this week as we discuss a case from Beth’s hometown.
