The Tales We Tell
Ep. 54: Elaine Parent
In July 1990, the poorly dismembered body of Beverly McGowan was pulled from the Florida Everglades, her head and hands missing. That same day, Beverly's siblings had received mysterious letters from her stating her intentions to abruptly sell her condo, quit her job, and start over. A few days later, someone in a sloppily styled wig, possibly pretending to be a man pretending to be woman, reserved a rental car at Heathrow International Airport with a stolen credit card. This week, Hannah takes Katy down the twisted road that investigators followed while tracking down Beverly's killer, uncovering a multi-faced scammer, and the motive behind such a brutal killing.
