Ep43 – Patreon Sneak Peek – Military Prime Time
I created a new exclusive Military Murder segment called Military Prime Time – a place where I will share all current and relevant military news. These news will usually surround true crime, but sometimes they will delve into other areas of the news – such as fatal accidents and training incidents.
This week, I cover 3 cases: (1) Prostitution Rings at or near Fort Hood; (2) The Murder of Army Green Beret Logan Melgar, and (3) the Marine training accident near Camp Pendleton.
If you like what you hear and you want access to this exclusive segment of Military Prime Time going forward – sign up for the Military Murder Fan Club at the Retirement Level or above! See you there! 😉
