7-Minute Less Taken III:
Impaled
In the summer of 1878, frontier farmer James Conway staggers past his barn, a flask in hand, unaware of the iron-tipped wagon tongue waiting in the dark. His death might have been foreseeable, but no one can predict what happens next.
Minden, NE
Nebraska
Fiend
In the vast Nebraska plains, a polished drifter named Stephen D. Richards hides a killer’s heart beneath his unassuming exterior.
Between 1876 and 1878, Richards—later dubbed “The Nebraska Fiend”—confesses to murdering at least nine lone travelers across Nebraska and Iowa before fleeing from authorities.
In this episode, we trace his first fatal duel by the Platte River, the brutal slaying of the Harlson family, and the manhunt that ensues.
