After Jimmy Don Beets’ fishing boat was found abandoned in Lake Athens, Texas, the locals speculated that he had accidentally drowned. But two years later, his body was found buried in a wishing well on his own property. And, shockingly, another missing man was discovered entombed on the same property. These two men had one thing in common—Betty Lou Beets.

Join us at the quiet end for Down the Wishing Well.

Even Betty’s children, who survived years with her, would be shocked by her hard-heartedness.
