Ashes to Ashes. The Con is Caught in Marietta, IL

True Crime shows and podcasts are flooded with the big murders like Bundy, Gacy, and Speck, but why are  the crimes that happen in our communities  less known? We are telling two stories that are local in McDonough and Fulton County, IL and has primarily relied on word of mouth. Thanks to  a 1960's detective magazine, we are able to sort truth from fiction about these murders. The killer and con man named Barger took the lives of two innocent men in order to avoid payment and steal a pension.  His dapper charm was not enough to escape justice. Two counties worked together to easily solve this case and despite his appeal, he remained in jail until he died.
