Premium Episode #14 - Circleville Letter Writer (Patreon)

In March 1977, school bus driver Mary Gillespie started receiving threatening letters delivered to her home in Circleville, Ohio. It wasn’t long before her husband Ron Gillespie also received the letters which accused Mary of having an affair with the local school superintendent, Gordon Massie. 

When Mary Gillespie found a threatening sign hung from a fence post on her school bus route she tore it down, only to find a booby trap inside, designed to kill her. Who wanted to target Mary? Investigation of the booby trap pointed to a prime suspect close to home, her brother-in-law Paul Freshour.
