Ruth Neslund, in the basement, with a meat grinder...Or at least that's how the story gets told.

A disgraced sea captain, famous for unceremoniously running a freighter into the West Seattle bridge, disappeared in 1980. After a missing persons report is filed, and a series of drunken confessions, Ruth Neslund is charged for her husband's murder in 1983.

Come learn about the murder trial that shocked the Friendly Isle in 1985.
