Podcast appearances and mentions of mark bretz

At around 8:30am, on Sunday the 26th of August 2012, Mark Bretz was making his way home after delivering cows to the local meat market. It was a beautiful morning, and he was looking forward to getting back to his family, so they could all head to church. As he continued along Ohio 208, passing through the remote, grassy intersection of Keyes and Steel Hill roads, he noticed something lying in the middle of the road. At first, he assumed it was an animal, and prepared himself to swerve around it. It was only as he got closer, that he realised it was actually the body of a woman.
