The Sweater Letter Murder - Ontonagon, Michigan
This week, in Ontonagon, Michigan, an unlikely couple seems to be making it work, until a strange series of events make it seem like something is out to get the wife. A large cinderblock falls on her, from the roof of their home. There's a suspicious fire, when only she is home. And she finally ends up dead, during a family gathering, with her own mother finding her, on a wooded trail. Finally, a letter, found in the sleeve of a sweater makes the whole wild tale make sense!!
Along the way, we find out that you don't want to end up in the "Busking Barn", that one attempt on your life could be an accident, but many are a pattern, and that you should never give evidence of your murder to someone that you have a crush on!!

Its interesting that even as most people have life insurance policies, that it's among the first suspicion when things go wrong. Its a responsible thing to have, but they act like it's alot of money. Its supposed to be to replace an income. However I get money is the usual motive.
You have to do an episode on blooming prairie Minnesota. The killer grandma
Texas and Tennessee Orange!
As soon as I saw the name I knew it was in the UP. As a Michigander raised in SE MI. This is the complete opposite side of state from me.
I knew this case as soon as you mentioned the chimney incident!
Duck season! Wabbit season!! Duck season!! Wabbit!!
My brother lives across the lake in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada. It’s so beautiful up there
I have lived in a lot of small towns. My dad did his medical residency at Marquette general hospital and we lived there at this time. There have also been episodes in Butte MT (my true home town) and in Stephenville, Tx where I lived for a while as well. Love the stories of the places I can picture…
Oh… and my mother in law is an RN at the Coldwater prison
It’s NOT irrelevant JAMES !!! Jimmie wants to know about the mobile CAT SCANS !!!!
Mobile CT and MRIs are totally a thing. They use them at the NFL combines and for all kinds of things
Ope here we go, Onto!!
When I was in high school I had a friend come over to watch The Walking Dead and spend the night. Woke up the next morning and he was gone. No sign of him and couldn’t get ahold of him all day. Turned out he woke up to a ruptured appendix and had to have his mom take him to the hospital. Didn’t even wake me up. 😂
It’s sweater weather for this sweater letter! YAY!!!😀
I’ve been to this town! It’s cute, and beautiful. I LOVE the UP!
The mobile CT scans look like semi trailers, pulled by a semi. They have mobile MRI scanners, too ✌️🙂 they have set dates that they go to different rural hospitals around here.
I had an appendectomy almost 3 years ago, but had NO idea it was my appendix until they did an ultrasound. I went in late at night with ridiculous lower abdominal pain, but I had no fever or nausea. Had surgery the next morning and they said it was "gangrenous and perforated" so I'd have been in big trouble if I'd waited any longer. I had to stay an extra day because of my white blood cell count, but they threw a bunch of antibiotics at it and I was fine.
Blair Crimmins is Davi Crimmins husband (she used to be on a syndicated radio show before she was forced out). Blair's a great musician! That would be a fun show
Listening to this episode on or 3 hour drive to Marquette for our son's football game in the Yooper Dome. Perfect timing!
My niece went to Northern, too!
Awesome show!
Those band names are.... wtf lol
He copped to it the day I was born nice lol
Holy crap, it's Michigan! I was just up in Ontonogan a couple weeks ago! The Porcupine Mountains are beautiful
Me shouting “Barry Crimmons!! Barry Crimmons!!”
Bonus recommendation: hunting deaths/ accidents!
Wisco and Michigan habit so many episodes
Jimmie is a huge Syracuse Minuteman fan...
We have another one…”The detectives / prosecution, didn’t think they had enough evidence to get a conviction”…cops bring in Bruce Wanna take a lie detector? - LAWYER What’s up with this sweater letter? - LAWYER...LAWYER VON FUCKING LAWYERSTEIN!!
I had a ruptured appendix at 5 that they said was a stomach bug. I almost died due to doctor negligence
I'm slipping!!
My grandparents had the most amazing log home on lake Superior. I spent many a vacation in Ontonogen 30+ years ago!! !! Can't wait to listen.
This dropped just in time for me to get ready for the San Jose show. 😎
Jelly!
Wait a minute! I'm having a fierce case of deja Vu... The Smurf bit is killing me... I swear I've heard James do that exact bit, I don't remember which episode. Am I slipping?
Nope. I looked it up. It's episode 713. Someone worked at Smurfit Stone.
