E149: Tony Alvin Ables

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little) This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of Tony Ables, a black man in St Petersburg, Florida, who was convicted of two murders and connected via DNA to two others. We dive into the setting (14:54), the killers early life (35:05) and the timeline (37:08). Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (43:47), "Where are they now?" (53:38) followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (56:57).   As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (01:00:27).  Researched and scripted by Minnie Williams.
