On September 16, 1922, 41-year-old Reverend Edward Hall and 31-year-old Eleanor Mills were found dead beneath a crabapple tree in Franklin Township, New Jersey. Both Edward and Eleanor were married to other people. Despite multiple arrests and a sensational murder trial, no one has ever been convicted of the Hall-Mills murders. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murders of Edward Hall and Eleanor Mills. Eleanor's death was much more violent and brutal than Edward's. Witnesses said they overheard multiple women talking before they heard gunshots. This led police to believe that a woman was involved and involved a great hatred for Eleanor. Both of the victim's spouses were looked at but both provided alibis. But, Frances Stevens Hall, Edward's wife, had a lot of money and it's been speculated by some that she paid for her alibi.
