Episode 148 - The Strack Family & Cave Explorer, Floyd Collins
First, Naomi covers the tragic murder-suicide of an entire family for what can only be reasons of religious delusions.
Then Amber tells the story of cave explorer, Floyd Collins. On January 30, 1925, while working in Sand Cave, Floyd Collins became trapped in a narrow crawlway 55 feet below ground.
