First we are joined by Shawna Reilly, Education Coordinator at Albany's Historic Cherry Hill, who tells the story of one of Albany's most infamous murders; the Strang-Whipple Case of 1827. Afterwards, Zan and the Winter Folk perform the murder ballad of "The Veiled Murderess", Henrietta Robinson, who in 1853 murdered Timothy Lanagan & Catherine Lubee by poison in Troy, NY.
