I was born in 1968, too Paul. I remember very well when this happened. I remember my mom saying she hopes they find who did it & “hang them by their thumbs!”

Apple Podcasts5a2willieUnited States19 days ago When I first saw the subject matter of this episode I automatically had to listen, I used to work at a small university where they had a house that had been donated by the R.J. Reynolds family and I had to listen to this episode at least twice to figure out if it was the same house due to the description.
P.S. different homes... same family.
