About this episode
Marie and Frank Hilley seemed to be living the American dream in their hometown of Anniston, Alabama. They met while still in school and had two kids. Frank was moving up at the foundry where he worked, and Marie brought in extra income as an executive secretary. But, in the mid-seventies, trouble started finding the Hilley family. Unexplained illnesses, arson, nuisance calls, money problems, extortion, and more. It would take years for the mystery to unravel.<br /><br />Today's snack: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_Cola" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RC Cola</a> and <a href="https://shop.moonpie.com/collections/moonpies/products/mini-moonpie-chocolate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Moon Pies</a><br /><br />Listen to all three parts today at <a href="https://patreon.com/lovemarrykill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">patreon.com/lovemarrykill</a><br /><br />Buy Love Marry Kill merch at: <a href="https://bonfire.com/store/love-marry-kill-store" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bonfire.com/store/love-marry-kill-store</a><br /><br />Sources:<br /><ul><li>Ginsburg, Philip E., <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40673920-poisoned-blood" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Poisoned Blood: A True Story of Murder, Passion, and an Astonishing Hoax</a></li><li>Anderson, Brian. “Web of Lies.” The Anniston Star, Feb 26, 1012, p. 1A.</li><li>Evans, Murphy, and Ronner, John. “The Marie Hilley Saga Ends.” The Anniston Star, Feb 27, 1987, p. 1A.</li><li><a href="https://law.justia.com/cases/alabama/court-of-appeals-criminal/1985/484-so-2d-476-0.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://law.justia.com/cases/alabama/court-of-appeals-criminal/1985/484-so-2d-476-0.html</a></li><li>Snapped S27 E13, Marie Hilley</li></ul>
