96 - The Starved Rock Murders

Sharon and Mindy discuss the tragic murders of 3 prominent women from the Chicago suburbs who were hiking in beautiful Starved Rock State Park on March 14, 1960. The crime shook northern Illinois and is one of the most shocking stories to ever occur in this otherwise peaceful region. Surprisingly, this story is actually still ongoing today, 61 years later.
