This week Beth and Wendy discuss Lemuel Warren Smith, a serial killer and rapist from upstate New York, who spent his adult life in and out of prison, and then committed his final murder in prison.
We begin the story with Smith’s early life (15:16).As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered (49:55), crime news (54:17) and of course, some shout outs.
Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop every Thursday, so until next time… look alive guys, it’s crazy out there!
