Sophomore Obsession

On a hot summer day in Illinois, police officers made their way through a field out in the middle of nowhere. They pushed aside the tall grass, and they could see and hear flies buzzing all around them. Suddenly, the officer at the front of the group stopped, crouched down, and called back to the others – he had finally found the body. The other officers rushed to him, and they all stared down at the dead young woman. The cops knew something like this would leave people in the small town nearby in complete shock, but they had no idea what their discovery would lead to. Because this dead young woman in the field would soon help solve a murder that had taken place across the border in Indiana, and lead police to a killer who had been on the run for two years. 🎧 Follow and listen to ALL of our podcasts from Ballen Studios - find them on Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts! 🔊 A Twist of History 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/atwistofhistory - New episodes every Wednesday 🔊 MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark and Mysterious Stories 👉 https://Wondery.fm/MBP - New episodes every Monday 🔊 MrBallen’s Medical Mysteries 👉 https://wondery.com/links/mrballens-medical-mysteries/?ol=am - New episodes every Tuesday 🔊 Redacted: Declassified Mysteries with Luke Lamana 👉 https://wondery.com/links/redacted/?ol=wnd~spot~ap~am - New episodes every Tuesday 🔊 Wartime Stories Podcast 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/Fz9J66 - New episodes every Monday 🔊 Bedtime Stories 👉 http://apple.co/ballenbedtimestories - New episodes every Wednesday 🔊 RUN, FOOL! 👉 https://smarturl.it/RunFool 🔊 Late Nights with Nexpo 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/latenightswithnexpo For 100s more stories like this one, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @MrBallen Theme Song by: @RossBugden
