This week, Manda kicks off our month in Iowa by digging into not one, but two chilling true crime cases that left a lasting mark on the state. First, she unpacks the disturbing story of Gayno Gilbert Smith, a case filled with unsettling twists and a life cut short in brutal fashion. Then, just when you think the darkness has peaked, she closes out the episode with the haunting details of the Donald Piper case, a crime that raises even more questions about motive, opportunity, and how evil can hide in plain sight. Two cases. One state. And a month of Iowa stories that’s only just beginning. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of murder, violence, and disturbing criminal behavior.
