Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! We are back to bring you the final installment of our multi-part series covering the book by Jax Miller; Hell in the Heartland. We come to our tragic conclusion to a 20 year cold case. We cover a handful of suspects Jax learns about through her investigations, the more recent arrests and charges placed against the men responsible, and what may have transpired the night the Freeman’s trailer went up in flames.
This episode contains foul language, discussions about police corruption, small town life, rape, torture, murder, and drug use. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
