Hank Robar is not one to be messed with. So when he got into a dispute with village officials in\\xa0 his hometown of Potsdam, New York, he got even by decorating his property with toilets. Over the years, Hank added more toilets. He decorated the bowls and tanks with artificial flowers. He put so much time and energy into the toilets that he began referring to them as \\u201ctoilet gardens,\\u201d and later, as \\u201cart.\\u201d Town officials were not amused. They did everything in their power to stop him.\\xa0

\\nThen Brandi tells us about the death of Josephine Galbraith. For Josephine\\u2019s family, her death was sad, but not shocking. The 76-year-old woman suffered from chronic back pain. She\\u2019d recently been diagnosed with Parkinson\\u2019s disease. She\\u2019d told her husband and children that she didn\\u2019t want to continue living. But when Josephine died in an apparent suicide, a detective on the scene suspected she\\u2019d been murdered.\\xa0 \\xa0

\\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
