52. Pride Rerelease: Murder at Alpine Manor

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

Listen back with us to an early case Hayden tells about Gwendolyn Graham and Cathy Wood and their work (and extracurricular pastimes) at Alpine Manor Nursing Home. This one delves into their toxic relationship that fueled a series of murders, with their twisted love story taking center stage. The pair killed for control, power, and an unbreakable bond—then celebrated their heinous acts with sex. This episode uncovers the chilling details of their relationship, the psychological motivations behind their murders, and the quest for justice that followed.
