Not Another True Crime Podcast
True Crime
This week, Sara and Danny kick off the episode with a brief update on the Madeleine McCann story, for which we might be beginning to get some answers for. Then, they dig into the episode, taking us all the way back to the 1920s to talk about Ruth Snyder. They kick it off with some background facts about Ruth and her husband Albert, and the affair she led with a salesman that was the beginning of the chain of events that would lead to the murder of her husband. They also talk all about the sensational trial that followed it, and the outcome of Ruthless Ruth and her accomplice.
