Episode 646: Ronald Gene Simmons Part II - To Kill A Bunch of Mockingbirds

This week, the boys conclude the tale of Ronald Gene Simmons, the grouchy, incestuous, ex-military drifter who decided Christmas was cancelled in 1987. After decades of paranoia, control, and delusion, Simmons saw the season’s first hints of cheer as the perfect excuse for a meticulously planned, full-scale annihilation of his family tree. What follows is a grim spiral into the life of a man who approached murder with the precision of a holiday checklist, leaving a trail of horror that turned a quiet Arkansas winter into a nightmare no one could escape.
