Happy Weekend! We (Rich!) put together a special Christmas episode for you. We hope you enjoy it!
Rich takes us back in time to 1927 Cisco, Texas and The Santa Claus bank robbery.
Amid Christmas preparations in the small central Texas town of Cisco, a fast-growing, bustling town thanks to the oil boom of the early 20’s, tragedy is about to strike. Two days before Christmas, children are laughing, shopkeepers are busy, and families are preparing for festive gatherings. But no one knows that Christmas is about to take a dark, bloody turn. Santa Claus is coming to town – but he’s not bringing presents.

Wishing you all a warm and wonderful holiday season!!
