61: Manhunt in Van Wert, OH

On this episode of Common Mystics Jennifer and Jill tell the story behind the largest manhunt in Ohio state history.* Robert Daniels and John West first met as cellmates in prison. Despite being paroled for good behavior, the two met up again outside the clink in July 1948 and embarked on a murderous crime spree. The media dubbed the motive "revenge". But the spirits have a different take... and it's far more sinister.
