Guns Don’t Kill People, Scumbags Do: The Rock Road Massacre

  • Robert Haggart meets Garnetta Post in 1981—and her life is never the same again. Soon after marrying Haggart, Garnetta realizes the guy is lazy, vulgar, and abusive. And within six months of the marriage, the true nature of just how violent this guy is presents itself—and the outcome is one of Michigan’s most violent and deadly crimes ever.

love the coverage!

I used to watch him when I was young on TV as commentator on murder shows and lost track of him..then saw him talking about something about Karen Read..and OMG I'm so happy. love his reporting and style. think he's honest and love that he's not fooled by Karen Read cult specifically. will go back and watch all his episodes of different crimes but just getting to episode 10 in Fairview. love you Phelps!!!
