Show Notes Chapter Markers

Kaitlin and Johnny interview four unique parishioners from The Church of Saint John the Evangelist, home parish of the slain rector and choir singer.  The first interview is with Judy and Cassie Vaz.  This mother and daughter duo have attended St. Johns since birth and grew up learning the lore of the scandal from within the walls of where the scandal took place. The second interview is with Father Leroy Lyons, the current supply priest at the church. Father Lyons gives a fascinating account of what it feels like to preach at a church where the old preacher committed adultery,   and how he  spiritually navigates the congregation today. The last interview is with Dr. Susan Huslage, current church organist and human psychologist. Dr. Huslage speaks to both the psychology associated with the act of murder and also gives first hand stories about the late and beloved Catherine Rastall (choir singer who was ALSO on Lover's Lane the same night the couple was murdered).
