A Ritualistic Murder - April 14 2022 Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

April 14th: Gerald Robinson Born (1938) Religion can, in some cases, cloud the judgment of even the most strong willed individual. On April 14th 1938 a man was born who would take on the divine right of becoming a beloved Catholic priest. A man who, when one of the nuns in his chapel was brutally killed, came under deep suspicion but was, ultimately, let free based on the religious beliefs of the man in charge of the case.

April 11th: Felicitas Sanchez Aguillon Arrested (1941) Most of the time, we would hope, a sentence that is handed down is a fair and just way to make a person pay for their crimes. This, however, is not always the case. On April 11th 1941 a woman was arrested for a series of horrific crimes and, because of a very informative client list, was able to walk out of prison after just 3 months of jail time.
