See this content in the original post

A Terrible Tragedy

On today’s PODCAST episode, we are traveling way back in TIME to 1881 to a small town of Deshler, Ohio, just outside of Toledo, Ohio.

John Harmon, a highly respected citizen is shot and killed in cold blood by Peter D. Cole on Main Street in the town of Deshler, Ohio just outside of Toledo, Ohio. Several witnesses were present in the six shot murder, including Mr. Harmon’s young son, as he is gunned down, traumatizing both families involved, as well as the town for one last time. 

We are taken through the tantalizing crime, uncovering secret affairs that led one man to murder and another to his final moments as we hear the defense weave a story so poetic that it is hard to believe anything but the side of the scorned murderer.
