EP 97 - Lauria Bible & Ashley Freeman: Hell in the Heartland

Death By Champagne

Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! We are back this week with episode two of our multi-part series covering the book by Jax Miller; Hell in the Heartland. This week we cover the days following the fire and the Bible families determination to do anything in their power to find their daughter Lauria. We also begin to dive into theories, suspects, and what was gathered from the crime scene.
This episode contains foul language, discussions about rape, molestation, police corruption, small town life, murder and autopsy reports. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
