  • Summary

  • Murders, Vigilante Justice, and an odd pair of shoes. John and Jeremy begin the tale of one of Wyoming's most infamous outlaws, Big Nose George Parrot. In the first of a two-part series, our hosts explore how a botched train robbery in the summer of 1878 began a chain of increasingly violent and macabre events in Southern Wyoming. Part one of the tale explores the infamous Elk Mountain Murders and how the search for justice ended with the hanging of "road agent" Dutch Charley in Carbon, Wyoming.

    This episode describes several violent murders. The content is not suitable for all ages. Listener discretion is advised.
