The Alvin Taylor case has made its way onto a national podcast - Small Town Murder. From the Small Town Murder Facebook page: Menomonie, Wisconsin! A friendly, traveling lounge singer moves into the area & people start to end up dead. Some of the deaths even seem to be accidents. But it turns out not to be a coincidence, as this singer is also being guided by voices, coming from tv sets, light bulbs & Chinese restaurants, while also being told what to do, by what he calls "The Force". He eventually admits all of this, but will he be allowed to walk the streets, again?? Available anywhere you get your podcasts.
