Ignorance Was Bliss

What makes a murderer? Who would possibly sign up to fight for a different country in a war with no personal significance? Just how immature is your host, anyway? These and more are addressed in a crossover involving three different countries, a 70-year-old murder and a botched (but maybe not so botched) execution in Canada.  Bonnie's regular podcast is Wining About Crime, and Minna's is True Crime Finland. Do yourself a favor and go binge them. Now. Maybe twice. Further reading on this case, if so inclined. (Though, no. I did not include a link to the Awful Awful Website. No.) Kallonen, K. (2016).
