EP 92 - Toilet Pants

Published: Aug. 14, 2020, noon

Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! We are back this week and full of true crime for you. Liv starts out with the murder of hiker Meredith Emerson and how her death solved a number of cases that are now known to be committed by the National Forest Serial Killer; Gary Hilton. Mack brings us an old and surprising case from our favorite east coast location, Harvard University. She covers the murder of Dr. Bernard Parkman and the very Sherlock-esque detective work that followed to discover his remains.
This episode contains foul language, discussions about murder, body decomposition, and body mutilation. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
