Manage episode 322183275 series 2815768
This week, the Murder Sheet will go back in time to the winter of 1788. In the town of New Durham, New Hampshire, a night out among friends starts with drinks at Mr. Randall's Tavern.
But a clash between two veterans who served in the American Revolution will end in a deadly confrontation. And the tragedy wouldn't stop there.
