Episode 50 “Girl In Every Town” Murder and Seduction in Nashville – 1840’s – 1919

(To hear this episode, scroll to the bottom)

An antique tin containing 100 letters along with a 1919 newspaper article was the starting point for this episode. The article  titled “Girl In Every Town” described a divorce case in which 17 letters from various women the husband allegedly had relationships with, were introduced as evidence.  As Sally dug deeper, and as usually is the case, the story was so much more! We take you back to the 1840’s, Nashville, Tennessee, to discover how it all began.
