Senseless Murder - July 20 2023 Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

July 20th: Anthony Miller Killed in Cape Girardeau (2020)
Some crimes are complicated. Motive, method, victim, and killer all adding unique layers to a case that, sometimes, lead to becoming subjects of books, documentaries, movies, and, of course, podcasts. However, not all cases require falling down a rabbit hole. Some are simple, brutal, and equally as devastating. On July 20th 2020 a young man lost his life in a simple, yet horrible, case of what appears to be a robbery gone wrong.
