The world is full of crazy true crime stories. Maybe you have a story you'd like to investigate and turn into a podcast or documentary. But how do you go about doing that? Today we talk to author Jax Miller ("Freedom's Child", "Candyland") and former law enforcement officer turned investigator Sarah Cailean about their experience investigating one of Oklahoma's darkest cold cases.
[It's also our 2nd skype interview! To accommodate, we recorded from Brian's home studio rather than our normal setup. So with that said, forgive the sound quality. Also, when we recorded this interview, the show was still being called by it's working title "American Mystery", so don't worry if you hear us say that name. We're still talking about "Hell In the Heartland". You didn't have a stroke.]
"Hell In the Heartland" debuts on the HLN network June 2 @ 9pm.
