Each one accused neighbours, teachers, and officials of dark secrets. And each one carried the same eerie signature: none at all.</p><p>The anonymous writer seemed to know everything, where people worked, who they spoke to, even private affairs no one else could have known. Then came the threats, a mysterious death, and a trap wired with a gun.</p><p><br></p><p>When a local man was arrested, everyone thought the nightmare was over… until the letters kept coming from hundreds of miles away, even while he sat in prison.</p><p>In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we revisit one of America’s most disturbing unsolved cases, a story of obsession, fear, and words that tore a town apart.</p>","author_name":"Jack Laurence"}
