PROGRAM SUMMARY

Beneath Schoharie County’s postcard-perfect landscape lies a darker history filled with unsolved murders, daring prison escapes, hidden counterfeiting operations, sensational trials, and mysteries that still raise questions today. Join Sharon Historian Ron Ketelsen for Crime, Justice, and Mystery in Schoharie County, a fascinating journey through more than two centuries of local crime and punishment—from an axe murder that was never solved and a bank robbery undone by a grocery bag to a missing merchant who returned with an incredible tale of pirates. Discover how crimes were investigated before fingerprints and DNA, how newspapers sometimes shaped public opinion before juries reached a verdict, and why some of Schoharie County’s most intriguing mysteries may still be waiting to be solved.
