Chapter 8: The Icebox Murders Feat. Special Guest Gerald Ferra
On June 23rd 1965 police were called to do a welfare check on 81 year old Fred Rogers and his 72 year old wife, Edwina Rogers. Police were unprepared for the horrific scene that would await them concealed within the Rogers' Icebox. Was this a potential case of undiagnosed PTSD? Or was this a hit performed to conceal the details of an assaniation? Join us to see what answers we could find in today's chapter and hear some insight into the intricacies of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from our special guest, an Iraqi War Veteran diagnosed, and working with those diagnosed, with PTSD himself.
