Episode 70: The Two Dr Gilmers

When Doctor Benjamin Gilmer started work at the Cane Creek Family Health Center he knew the previous doctor, Vincent Gilmer, had murdered his father, but he just thought it was an odd coincidence that they both shared the last name, something that folks would soon forget about.

 

Little did he know that he would soon find himself descending into a bizarre rabbit hole, one that began with fear, paranoia, and terror, then became a mission of hope and redemption.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, today we bring you an utterly bizarre and heart-wrenching tale: The Curious Case of the Two Dr. Gilmers, and ask you, the listener, is Murder Coaster the This American Life of true crime?
