The Carbolic Acid Cocktail Murder: The Strange Death of Mary Marrs Cawein, Part 2

We return after a work-related delay (namely, my store had inventory last weekend and I’m lucky to have survived it) to finish our discussion of the mysterious 1965 murder of Mary Marrs Cawein. There are several odd facts about this death that frustrate and puzzle us—not least of which is the reaction of her friends and family to Marrs’ death. Also we look at the official “response” to the death, including that of the coroner, the police and the media. (Finally, we do have Superstore series finale spoilers during our introductory chat; if you’re a fan of the show and you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it—it was amazing!)
