Episode 6 - Mini Mysteries File:006 | The Case That Wrote Itself: The Circleville Letter-Writer
✉️ A letter appears. Then another. Then hundreds.
This week’s Mini Mystery takes us to Circleville, Ohio, where in 1976 a small-town scandal erupted into one of the strangest unsolved cases in U.S. history.
Kristin & Seleena follow the trail of the anonymous Circleville Letter-Writer — a mysterious figure who sent thousands of threatening letters over two decades, implicated a school scandal, and possibly caused a man’s death.
The letters didn’t stop. Not even after someone was arrested. Not even when he was in solitary.
Was this a lone vigilante seeking justice? A clever frame job? Or something darker?
🎙️ File:006 – The Case That Wrote Itself is now open.
