Jessica said that Rowena dropped off her son with her and borrowed her truck for
00:00:04
the day. And Ruby said that she and Rua went out on the town [music] together with a group of friends and they spent
00:00:09
most of the night at a bar called Stag Club. Well, it turns out that almost 6 months to the day before Rowena's death
00:00:17
on [music] March 19th, 1984, Melody Anne Bush was partying with her husband Robert Bush in a room at this like seedy
00:00:25
motel in Platonia called Antlers Inn. And there were like two other people there. Well, she and her husband got
00:00:32
into an argument and Melody left the room and walked around back to the Stag Club, the same bar that Rowena was
00:00:40
hanging out in the night of her death. And the Stag Club is the last place that Melody has ever seen alive. 12 days
00:00:47
later, her body gets found a couple of miles north of town off the interstate in this culvert. And the Emmy ruled her

>> Acetone like nail polish remover >> or or it could have been rubbing alcohol. Like it uh rubbing alcohol
00:01:05
metabolizes into [music] acetone. Now, at the time, Melody's case is never connected to Robert Charles Brown
00:01:12
because Melody's husband was the prime suspect [music] in her death, >> but authorities never had enough to
00:01:17
charge him. >> And then Rowena's death is written off as a suicide, >> right? So, it never crosses anyone's
00:01:23
mind that those two cases could be connected. And people certainly weren't picking up on the fact that they had
00:01:28
each last been seen alive in the same bar. But fast forward to 2003, [music] that is when the El Paso County
00:01:36
Sheriff's Office in Colorado get this creepy AF letter from Robert Charles Brown, who is already in jail serving
00:01:44
time for two separate murders. And I'm gonna have a voice actor read his
