Show Notes
On the 31 March 1985, 35 year old Linda Moser and her two daughters 14 year old Donna and 10 year old Joanne left a church service to meet their father and her ex-husband Leon Moser so he could spend time with Donna and Joanne that afternoon.
Instead of planning a nice afternoon with his daughters, Moser took a rifle from his car and shot 10 year old Joanne, his ex-wife Linda and his 14 year old daughter Donna.
A man with a history of abuse who blamed Linda and her family for his misfortune, Moser was killed by lethal injection in August 1995.
This is the story of the Moser Family.
