#038 The Tale of Father Most Evil: Robert Peernock Mar 25, 2018

Show notes

The 1987 Murder Of Claire Peernock And Attempted Murder Of Natasha Peernock Perpetrated By Husband And Father Robert Peernock
**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!! Skip ahead about a year! Also, KD is no longer a part of the Orbital Jigsaw Network or Blubrry**
Natasha and Claire Peernock were involved in a car crash in the early morning hours of July 22, 1987 in Los Angeles. But this was no ordinary car accident. From the onset, investigators suspected that these two were victims of something more nefarious and the accident was staged in an attempt to cover it up. One of the victims didn’t make it, but one of them survived. And the story she had to tell was unlike anything the most seasoned investigators had ever seen before. This is the story of Robert Peernock's attempt at annihilating his family.
