Show Notes

Mack Marsden and Allen Hensley were members of  well-respected pioneer Jefferson County families, but they were also suspects in a notorious hog-stealing gang that were also responsible for arson and murder. When they met their fate on Frisco Hill in 1883, the identity of their killers left more questions than answers.
