Friday the 13th and the Murder of Betty Gore

It’s Friday the 13th again, so we are coming back to you this week with a crazy tale that happened on June 13, 1980. The Gores and the Montgomerys were two God-fearing, Christian families living in the “country,” about 20 miles outside of Dallas. When their lives get tangled up in a lukewarm affair, all hell breaks loose. Join Kevin and Amy as they dive into the dumpster to talk out this trash. Thanks for listening!
