This week, Kristin tells Mogab about the ax murder of Betty Gore. In a small town in Texas, Candy Montgomery just wanted to have an affair. She wanted something to shake up her boring housewife life, and she set her sights on Betty's husband, Allen. A year later, however, Betty would end up murdered after being struck with an ax over 40 times. How did this happen? How could a petite housewife with no history of violence do something like this? And what would her defense be at trial? And where are they now!?

Doug Swanson interview on WAEC with Conn Jackson BLOOD ACES: The Wild Ride of Benny Binion, the Texas Gangster Who Created VegasThey say in Vegas you can't understand the town unless you understand Benny Binion—mob boss, casino owner, and creator of the World Series of Poker.
