midnight murder mystery, 9.24.23

after college football, i let the tv run while i took a shower. i came out and noticed they were talking about boone on television. i had turned the volume up to hear them mentioning the weather in boone. i thought it was strange, but i still kept an ear out while i lotioned up and put my clothes on. minutes later, the show segues into a 1972 murder in boone in the snow. 40 mph winds during an evening snowstorm. a mother, a father, and their son were found dead, head down in a tub filled with water. i usually listen/watch true crime during the day, but the fact this is on at 1am is giving me a different feeling. and it’s local??

you know i had no option but to tune in.
