About this episode

Did former corporal Albert S. Merry kill his wife? In our second Company D Noir episode, we investigate a bitter marriage. While Albert spent most of his time living at the Old Soldiers' Home in Togus, Maine, his wife, Nancy, lived nearby in poverty. They fought over his military pension. They accused each other of physical and mental abuse. And then, on the coldest night of 1907, Nancy was found dead in her woodshed.
