Tin Soldiers: The Murder of Carole Garton

When it comes to stuff, I really feel like counterfeit can be just
as good as the real thing. Give me a lab-created diamond any day; I
can show off some sparkle without robbing a bank. Same goes for
shoes and bags and perfume dupes—I’m happy to sport a convincing
knockoff. Fake isn’t always bad. But when it comes to people, it’s
a whole different story. Especially when we’re talking fake doctor,
or fake financial advisor…or as we’ll see in today’s story, fake
assassin. Join us for a story of counterfeit clout, astounding
gullibility, and greed, that when mixed all together, led to a
deadly conclusion.

This is a wild one, folks.
