104. MURDER: The Murder of Helle Crafts

This is the murder that inspired Fargo. If you’re familiar with the film, that tells you what you need to know. If you’re not, well, it’s a rough one.  UPDATE: After recording this episode, we learned that Richard Crafts was out of prison and living in transitional housing as of January 2020.
