October Bonus Episode: The Kidnapping of Peggy McMath

Описание

On May 2, 1933, the Harwich Center School received a telephone call from the father of ten-year-old Peggy McMath, a student at the school. Mr. McMath informed them that he was sending a driver to pick up his daughter and he expected her to be ready. However, when the driver showed up, Peggy didn’t recognize the man and was hesitant to get into the car. In response, the driver of the car, Kenneth Buck, grabbed the girl, threw her in the car, and drove off before anyone could stop him.This month's Bonus Episode is #sponsored by our friends at @netflixfilm and their riveting film release ANIMALS!
