In March 1977, school bus driver Mary Gillespie started receiving threatening letters delivered to her home in Circleville, Ohio. It wasn’t long before her husband Ron Gillespie also received the letters which accused Mary of having an affair with the local school superintendent, Gordon Massie. 

When Mary Gillespie found a threatening sign hung from a fence post on her school bus route she tore it down, only to find a booby trap inside, designed to kill her. Who wanted to target Mary? Investigation of the booby trap pointed to a prime suspect close to home, her brother-in-law Paul Freshour.

Born and raised Circlevillian here! I opened the app to check today’s release and my heart stopped when I saw the title. This story is wild and rumors still circulate town to this day. I can’t wait to listen to my favorite podcast’s cover of my small hometown’s crime story.

Is this a repeat? I’ve heard this before and recognised it straight away. Possibly was on another podcast but I’m sure it was Casefile!

I’m not sure I understand how Patreon works now. What exactly are the benefits?

So cool! This episode was released on my birthday, and the case took place the month I was born. That was a fun birthday surprise! Can't wait to listen!

Was it ever confirmed his fingerprints were on the letters? What about DNA? Would it still exist? Did he or she lick the stamps?
