Ep 17: American Gothic: Love & Murder Part 2
Manage episode 359301715 series 3418542
The second installment in this true-crime series of podcasts surrounding the brutal murders of Edwin and Wilma Hoyt in McCook, Nebraska in the fall of 1973.
Originating from the Anvil Bar & Grill in Curtis, Nebraska, as well as the Hi-Way Diner in Lincoln, host John Murphy shares for the first time, exclusive audio from taped interviews with the key people involved in the case: confessed killer, Harold Nokes, his lover and daughter of the murdered couple, Kay Hein, and lead investigator, former Frontier County Sheriff, Lannie Roblee.
Murphy also speaks with clinical and forensic psychologist, Dr. Mario Scalora, PhD., about the interpersonal dynamics and possible state of mind that put Kay, Harold, and his wife, Ena, on a journey of sexual exploration that descended into obsession and murder. Murphy questions Scalora on the possibility of all three being undiagnosed sex addicts--which wasn't even on the map of psychological study at the time.
You will hear from Harold and Kay directly on how they met, became lovers, and turned their affair into a three-way relationship with Harold's wife, Ena--an arrangement that couldn't withstand the emotional pressures of sharing physical love and living a double life.
This episode also features thoughts and comments from James Hewitt, a retired attorney and author of the book about the case, "In Cold Storage."
