87 Bernie Tiede and Marjorie Nugent: East Texas Insanity

Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer: A True Crime Podcast

Jessica from Texas True Crime sits in tonight! She wanted to cover Bernie Tiede, so that's what we did!

And what an insane story!

Here we have an old widow Karen (Marjorie) who is nasty to everyone in town..Including her family. She's rich. We also have a much younger funeral director (Bernie) who everyone in town loves, and he is as far as the ladies in town are concerned, he's the most eligible bachelor in Carthage Texas. But, he's gay.

So when Marge's husband dies, Bernie handles the funeral, and the 2 become very good friends. Or do they?

Marge is taking Bernie on trips all over the world, and even makes him the sole beneficiary in her will. remember, her family hates her.

So, she goes missing. and that's where the insanity starts. Its just a roller coaster of crazy from that point, on. Want to know the rest? Listen!

Thanks to Jessica from Texas True Crime for suggesting and doing this story! Had a blast, and you should definitely check out her podcast on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts from! Its great!
