Description

The morning of October 4, 1875, was like many others in home of the Langmaid’s of Pembroke, NH. Seventeen year old, Josie, was late for school and rushing out the door to make the 1.5 mile walk to her school, Pembroke Academy before the bell. But Josie would never make it to school that day. Her body* was found that evening by a group of search volunteers, horribly assaulted and mutilated. A crime of this magnitude was unheard of in Pembroke and big-city professionals were brought in from Boston to conduct the search for her killer.This is a four-part series that will be released weekly, so be sure to come back for Parts 2-4!*Just a warning, Parts 1 and 2 of Episode 4 contain detailed descriptions of Josie’s murder and what happened to her body. While not gratuitous, it is a frank presentation of the facts. If you are at all squeamish about such things or could be triggered by discussions of stalking, sexual assault or murder, you may be better off waiting picking up the story with Part 3, which will be coming out in a few weeks.
