#008 The Disappearance of Marcia Trimble / Part I 08/24/2020

#008 The Disappearance of Marcia Trimble / Part I This is the first episode in a multi-part series about the disappearance of Marcia Trimble. Nashville, in 1975, was a much different place than it is today, and the disappearance of Marcia Trimble really changed the way parents and adults thought about the freedom they gave their kids. It is a true crime story worthy of a series, and I'll try to do it justice over the next few episodes. Check out the Rolson McKane series on Amazon! is the first in the series, and you can get it on Amazon or at Parnassus Books in Nashville. /episode/index/show/musiccitymurder/id/15737168
