This week we're going back in time to the 1920's where scandal struck the small town of New Brunswick, NJ.The town's reverend and one of the women from his choir were found murdered, their torrid affair exposed to the world. The scandal was so salacious the newspapers at the time couldn't report on it fast enough. So much so the Tabloid was born. Despite all this media attention, this crime remains unsolved to this day! My Primary Source for this episode was Blood and Ink, by Joe Pompeo. Find us on Instagram @ontrialpod for pics referenced in the episode!
