Welcome to Myths, Monsters, and Murders

Not far from the statistical center of the United States is the quaint town of Lebanon, Missouri. Route 66 bisects this small town of less than 20,000, but that’s not the thing that sets Lebanon apart from its cultural counterparts. 

Lebanon makes the news. From the local news of meth busts and political philandering, national news of large scale motor vehicle fraud, and to the international incident created by an assumedly well meaning local citizen infiltrating a political dissident’s home in a foreign country.

More than the bizarre are the brutal murders - solved, unsolved, and half-assed. There have been kidnappings and imprisonments that have been used as inspiration for at least one New York Times bestseller.

So, sit back, but don’t relax, as Chandi Koepel and Phyllis York show you around our hometown. Welcome to Myths, Monsters, and Murders.
