The Parrot Wants to Know What Happened to Gus - PART TWO May 11, 2023

Show notes

This is PART TWO - the thrilling conclusion - of, "The Parrot Wants to Know What Happened to Gus."
See story description from PART ONE below:
In late January 1887 a trunk is shipped from New York City to Balimore. It sits unclaimed at the shipping company for two days until the stink emanating from it is so bad that the police are called. When the trunk is opened, the blood-soaked insides contain the butchered, (not a figure of speech - literally butchered like a calf) mutilated and decapitated body of a mysterious male victim. Also in the trunk is compelling and contradictory evidence supporting more than one possible identity for the murder victim. Is he a philandering Dutchman? A disloyal Irish revolutionary? Or, a mafia counterfeiter? No one knows for sure. And then, the police receive a report from a cranky old woman complaining that her upstairs neighbor has a parrot that won't stop shreiking, "Where's Gus?" all day and all night...
Where is Gus? What happened to him? Was he killed? If so, who did it, and why? Find out on this episode of Kinda Murdery!
