Frances Schreuder wanted desperately to be a member of high society, but she just didn’t have enough money to bankroll it. So she did what a lot of women would do — got her teenage son to kill her incredibly wealthy but tight-fisted father.

You may not recognize the names now, but the murder of Franklin Schreuder spurred several true crime books and two — yes TWO — TV docudramas.

And if that’s not enough fun, we also talk about some of Maine’s most notorious tourist-area murders.

Join us for a very special Mother’s Day Episode 23.
