The Springfield Three Ep.2: A Broken Porch Light and A Pack of Cigarettes

Ozarks True Crime

Show Notes

Episode 2: We dig into the details of the girls’ graduation night—a night that was filled with excitement and promise, until it wasn’t. What exactly happened that night? We look at a timeline of events and talk to the friends who arrived at the house at 1717 Delmar Street; those who could possibly have found the one piece of evidence in the case. We speak with officer Rick Bookout, the first to arrive on the scene the next evening—and hear about the disturbing scenario that was found upon his arrival.
