Paint the Town Dead

This week we talk about some duels from early in Arkansas' American history. First up is Andrew Scott and Joseph Selden, two judges appointed to the state's Superior Court at the beginning of the territory's creation, who feuded after an incident during a card game. Then we have Henry Wharton Conway and Robert Crittenden, former political allies, turned bitter rivals. Afterwards we talk about Moon Knight, Northman, and more! https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/conway-crittenden-duel-7334/ [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/conway-crittenden-duel-7334/] https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/robert-crittenden-2270/ [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/robert-crittenden-2270/] https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/henry-wharton-conway-4612/ [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/henry-wharton-conway-4612/] https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/the-family-political-dynasty-2666/ [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/the-family-political-dynasty-2666/] https://www.swtimes.com/story/news/2015/06/17/history-minute-conway/24368251007/ [https://www.swtimes.com/story/news/2015/06/17/history-minute-conway/24368251007/] https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/scott-selden-duel-7830/ [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/scott-selden-duel-7830/] https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/joseph-selden-8900/ [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/joseph-selden-8900/] https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/andrew-horatio-scott-1758/ [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/andrew-horatio-scott-1758/] https://www.eldoradonews.com/news/2022/may/11/history-minute-judge-scotts-rise-and-fall/ [https://www.eldoradonews.com/news/2022/may/11/history-minute-judge-scotts-rise-and-fall/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/PTTDpod [https://twitter.com/PTTDpod] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pttdpod/ [https://www.facebook.com/pttdpod/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paintthetowndead/ [https://www.instagram.com/paintthetowndead/] Email: PTTDPod@gmail.com [PTTDPod@gmail.com] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Army vet, Joe Lee Richards Jr. is reported missing October 20, 2010. His truck is found, keys in the ignition along with other valuables still in the vehicle. In November, an anonymous tip is received, seemingly providing a break in the case. What is soon revealed goes well beyond Joe Lee Richards Jr, exposing a darker history. Afterwards, Andrew is catching up on Marvel films and providing big ideas for Caitlin's Easter. Caitlin gets her annual sunburn and listens to an Irish book that's probably about people with a similar propensity for sunburns and more!

This week Caitlin tells us about Ray and Faye Copeland. Mostly Ray, who was something of a flimflamming con of a man. His family moved a lot during the Great Depression, and he made his way through life thieving, starting first with his own father's farm animals, then moving up to more and more elaborate schemes. It's been TWO YEARS of Paint the Town Dead! We talk a little about past episodes, Andrew gets in some wrestling talk despite everybody's wishes, and Caitlin loves Irish music and Kansas City!

Marjorie "Greta" Mason was 22-year-old nurse at the Little Rock Air Force Base. In 1983, about two weeks after moving to Arkansas she was found murdered in Lonoke County. Eventually, the police locked in on Barry Lee Fairchild as the killer. While Fairchild confessed to the crime, it wasn't as open and shut of a case as one might expect. Afterwards we've got more Harry Potter quizzing for Caitlin, this time from the Order of the Phoenix. Andrew thinks you should all watch Murderville on Netflix. https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/barry-lee-fairchild-4586/ [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/barry-lee-fairchild-4586/] https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/857/1204/115126/ [https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/857/1204/115126/] https://www.nytimes.com/1995/08/31/us/execution-of-retarded-man-is-fought.html [https://www.nytimes.com/1995/08/31/us/execution-of-retarded-man-is-fought.html] https://casetext.com/case/fairchild-v-norris-2 [https://casetext.com/case/fairchild-v-norris-2] https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1994/01/09/in-arkansas-a-death-row-struggle-and-doubt/772108c9-1db5-4f2e-8ffe-0c512c842a1b/ [https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1994/01/09/in-arkansas-a-death-row-struggle-and-doubt/772108c9-1db5-4f2e-8ffe-0c512c842a1b/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/PTTDpod [https://twitter.com/PTTDpod] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pttdpod/ [https://www.facebook.com/pttdpod/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paintthetowndead/ [https://www.instagram.com/paintthetowndead/] Email: PTTDPod@gmail.com [PTTDPod@gmail.com] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
