Bina Verrault and The Love Syndicate

Episode Description: This episode is a special road trip edition! I promised I was going on a road trip and bringing you all with me. In this episode, we travel to Tonopah, Nevada where I tell you the story of Bina Verrault. Bina created a persona of a wealthy widow looking for love. Working with some rather colorful characters, she and her accomplice Izella Pemberton Brown managed to swindle an amount of almost $3.4 million from wealthy men from all over New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. After getting caught, Bina fled to Tonopah, Nevada. Hear the crazy story of the "love syndicate" and find out where Bina likes to haunt in this episode. We also talk about the world famous clown motel and speculate whether I'm getting haunted tonight.
