101 - The Story Behind Kentucky’s Notorious “Dark Highway” Murders

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. It is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised. On November 6, 1936, beautiful Verna Garr Taylor left for a day trip with her fiance, former Lieutenant Governor Henry Denhardt. By day’s end, she would be lying in a ditch off Kentucky’s Highway 22 with a single bullet through her chest. 
Her fiance immediately declared it a suicide. To the people investigating the case, it looked like murder. 
This is just the beginning of the fascinating double-murder case detailed in the book “Dark Highway” by Ann D’Angelo… a case so sensational, it made front-page news across the nation for nearly a year. 
In this week’s episode, we walk you through the circumstances leading up to Verna’s death along that dark highway, as well as the equally shocking events that followed. You won’t want to miss this episode! Not only will you be drawn into the intriguing Taylor/Denhardt murder case, but it’ll also prepare you for our fascinating interview with author Ann D’Angelo that will air next week.

This Episode, Should You Choose to Listen, Will Lead You to the 1996 Blockbuster ‘Mission: Impossible’

Just a few weeks ago “Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One” opened in theaters, boasting what has been described as “the biggest stunt in the history of cinema” and is noted by one film exec to be “far and away the most dangerous thing we’ve ever attempted.” The stunt occurs when the hero, Ethan Hunt, rides a motorcycle off a huge cliff, then jumps off the bike in mid-fall to pull a parachute and ultimately land safely. 
The “Mission: Impossible” franchise has come to be associated with death-defying stunts, non-stop action, impressive disguises, and an unstoppable action hero in Tom Cruise.
But your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to travel back with us to the 1996 blockbuster that started it all, the original “Mission: Impossible,” in which espionage still played as large a role as the action. 
In this lively episode, we take you behind the scenes of the hit film, discussing everything from the inspiration for the movie to the reactions of the cast members of the “Mission: Impossible” TV series, to the special effects used to create the famous train scene, to the one regret Tom Cruise shared with Emilio Estevez. 
So be sure to join the fun; it will leave you saying, “Mission ACCOMPLISHED!”MID-ROLL AD: Support Scandal Water by visiting Youtube.com or your favorite podcast app and hitting subscribe/follow! Music used (not Josh Martin) Gothamlicious purchased from FreePd.com#MissionImpossible #MissionBlockbuster #TomCruise #ActionMovie #Movie #Film #Blockbuster #EthanHunt #Stunts #Spy #Thriller #JonVoight #EmilioEstevez
