#85: Ronald Gene Simmons, Part I

We’re back with a new episode this week! It’s a two-parter with the second part coming out very soon (not 6 months from now)! Soooo, Ronald Gene Simmons (AKA the Hillbilly from Hell) was not a good guy. Gene was a family-annihilating, spree-killing madman. He craved control and power over his family and when he lost it, all hell broke loose. Join Amy and Kevin for a deep-dive into this bad dad. Thanks for listening!
