The Hididng Place - An Almost True Crime Story, #3

Welcome to Season Three of Murders Under the Sun, a podcast that takes a trip to the dark side of sunny Southern California. I'm your host, Molly Shure. A dying girl is dropped over the wall at the historic mission of San Juan Capistrano. In the dark and quiet night, Abby Travers is the only one to see it happen, yet she is powerless to help. Trapped in the liminal space between research and publicity stunt, Abby is locked inside a hidden cell near the ruins of the Great Stone Church.
When she finally escapes her self-imposed prison, she finds herself at the center of a mystery that threatens to demolish her life as surely as the 1812 earthquake demolished the mission's cathedral. That is the startling beginning of the third-and most bizarre-crime of the seven interconnected tales I began sharing in the first two seasons of the podcast. Enter The Hiding Place with me now and we'll explore its secrets together. **Portions of this story previously appeared in The Sanctity of Sloth by Greta Boris**
