TRAILER: The Orsini Tapes

[00:00:02] Speaker A: Arkansas, the early 1980s. Two cities, two murders, one black widow. The crime saga of Mary Lee Orsini lasted three years and was documented in every conceivable way. Newspapers, tv, audio, and lots of it. Audio recorded on cassette tapes that haven't been heard in 40 years and were never made public until now. Tapes of recorded police interviews. [00:00:26] Speaker B: Point blank. Did you murder your husband? [00:00:28] Speaker A: Grand jury testimony. [00:00:30] Speaker B: The woman is a sociopath, plain and simple. She does not know what the truth really is and doesn't care. [00:00:36] Speaker A: And police communications? [00:00:38] Speaker C: Is there any truth? Just I hear about my father's wife. [00:00:40] Speaker B: That's right. [00:00:41] Speaker C: Did she die? [00:00:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:00:44] Speaker C: Damn. [00:00:45] Speaker A: Plus new and vintage interviews with the people who lived through and covered the whole thing. [00:00:49] Speaker B: You were living in the midst of a soap opera. [00:00:52] Speaker A: Presented by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. This is the Orsini tapes.
