Phantom: The Murder of Heidi Bernadzikowski

I'm not going to try and do his voice because it'd tear my throat
up, but Hollywood legend Jack Palance once said, "The only two
things you can truly depend upon are gravity and greed." Greed has
been a motivation in more true crime cases than I can count, and
it's astonishing how a grasping desire for dollars and cents can
twist the human heart. It can drive someone to acts of both
chilling cruelty and jaw-dropping stupidity, and in this week's
case we get both. Join us for a bizarre true story of a heartless
murder for hire that took 11 long years to solve.
