Bardstown, Kentucky was once called the most beautiful small town in America. Bourbon country. And then the murders began. 5 murders in four years in the same small town, and there were no answers to any of them... until recently.

Bardstown Part 1
Bardstown was once called the most beautiful small town in America. Bourbon country. Quiet streets. A place where nothing bad was supposed to happen.
Then came the ambush of Officer Jason Ellis. A year later, the brutal murders of Kathy and Samantha Netherland. Soon after, Crystal Rogers vanished on the Fourth of July.
Three crimes. Three families. One town. No answers.
For years, everything sat in silence. But this summer, something shifted. Trials. Testimony. Secrets rising to the surface.
Part 1 takes us back to where it all began. And it’s only the beginning.

The Disappearance of David Glenn Lewis
In 1993, Amarillo attorney and former judge David Glenn Lewis vanished on Super Bowl Sunday, leaving behind turkey sandwiches, laundry in the wash, and a recording of the game on his VCR. Eleven years later, he was shockingly identified as a John Doe found 1,600 miles away in Washington state. How did he get there—and why?

The Murders of Nicholas Brady and Haile Kifer
It was Thanksgiving Day, 2012, in the small town of Little Falls, Minnesota. That morning, cousins Nick Brady and Haile Kifer set out to visit family for dinner. But when they never showed up, their loved ones were thrown into a desperate search. By the next day, their worst fears were confirmed—Nick and Haile had been killed inside the home of 64-year-old Byron Smith.
At first glance, it looked like a tragic but lawful case of self-defense under Minnesota’s Castle Doctrine. Smith claimed he’d been terrorized by repeated break-ins and had finally snapped when the teens entered his home. But the investigation revealed something far more chilling: Byron Smith hadn’t been caught off guard. He’d been lying in wait.
This week, we dive into the audio recordings that changed everything, the trial that divided the community, and the chilling words Smith used to justify what he’d done, which leaves us with the question: was this self defense… or murder?
