36. The Bizarre Murder of Karla Brown

Grab your glass and get cozy, let's talk about murder! 

In this episode we will be taking a deep dive into the brutal and bizarre murder of the 'All-American Girl', Karla Brown. 

Karla was excited to start the next chapter in her life. She had just gotten engaged to her high-school sweetheart and they were moving into their new home. Unfortunately though, her new beginnings had a quick and bitter end. She was murdered before the couple had even spent their first night in their new home. 

Not only was her murder shocking, but they way her body was posed was even more disturbing. This did, however, provide great insight as to what happened to this beautiful young woman on June 20, 1978 in Lima, Ohio. 

Join us as we discuss the chaotic crime scene, multiple autopsies, controversial evidence, and the FBI's behavioral profile that helped investigators capture the killer.
