Sandy and Tom Bird/Lorna and Marty Anderson - Part 2

About this episode

When 33-year-old Sandra Bird, a devoted mother and the wife of popular Faith Lutheran Church pastor Tom Bird, was found dead in the Cottonwood River near Emporia, Kansas, the town mourned what appears to be a tragic car accident. But Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper John Rule felt like something was off. From a complete lack of skid marks to mysterious bloodstains found where they shouldn’t have been, the physical evidence just didn’t add up.<br /><br />Months later, the community was rocked again when Martin Anderson, the husband of the church's secretary, Lorna Anderson, was gunned down on a dark highway in an apparent robbery gone wrong.<br /><br />What followed was one of the most tangled criminal cases in Kansas history: competing trials, a jailhouse reversal, a made-for-TV movie, and a legal fight that stretched across nearly a decade.<br /><br />Today’s snack: Lay's <a href="https://sporked.com/article/new-lays-argentinian-style-steak-chips-review/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentinian-Style Steak with Chimichurri</a> and <a href="https://sporked.com/article/new-lays-brazilian-style-garlic-sauce-chips/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brazilian Style Garlic Sauce Chips</a><br /><br /><a href="https://patreon.com/lovemarrykill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Support us on Patreon</a><br />
