*As we prepare for our upcoming live show, enjoy this episode that originally aired on our Patreon. And if you're a Patreon subscriber, don't worry, you've got a brand new episode coming later this week!
On the morning of September 12, 1943, 29-year-old David Bacon - star of 'The Masked Marvel' - woke up, had breakfast with his wife and then went for a swim. So how is it that just a few hours later he was found in a bean field writhing in pain and covered in blood? When a witness rushed to help and asked who had done this to him, David was dead before he could answer. A secret apartment, a diary written in code, false confessions and a wife that changes her story...what the hell happened to the Masked Marvel?
