Would you believe that when the first documented female serial killer in the United States confessed to multiple murders, it didn’t make the headlines? What monumental event kept her story from newspapers all over the country? Find out now on this episode of Top Fold.
Top Fold is dedicated to, "All the news that would have been". What does that mean? That means that on 9/11, or when the Hindenburg exploded, or Elvis Presley died, headlines were replaced and stories fell below the fold. What event happened that was huge but wasn’t talked about because something else monumental took the headlines? The -name of the podcast comes from a combination of "TOP Story" and "Above the FOLD"-TOP FOLD.
Original music by David "Beezer" Wagler.
