E90: Donald Eugene Younge Jr.

This week Beth and Wendy get into the Donald Eugene Younge Jr. story (every heard of him?), a man who has never actually been convicted of murder, but is suspected in at least 5 murders.

We dive heavy into the setting, the timeline, our takeways, some shoutouts and of course, some tips on how not to get murdered.
