Episode description
While Easter is generally a day of peace with your loved ones, that’s not always the case. Fifty years ago, on March 30th, 1975, Easter Sunday was a nightmare for one Ohio family. That Sunday, James Ruppert called the police simply telling the dispatcher there’s been a shooting.
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Easter massacre perpetrated by James Ruppert. When the police arrived, they discovered this was more than a shooting, this was a massacre. There was never a doubt that James Ruppert was behind it. The real question was why Ruppert murdered eleven of his family members that day.
