Episode 270 - Burning Questions - The Murder of Todd Stermer

Join us, as we examine the tragic death of Todd Stermer – a father of three and beloved youth sports coach.

You'll hear how a seemingly accidental house fire evolved into accusations of arson and calculated murder.

And you'll learn how a single gas station visit on a cold January morning would become the linchpin in a murder case that spanned eighteen years and two separate trials.
