More About the Talk: Allegany County (MD) hanged its first murderer in 1829. He was the sheriff of the neighboring Washington County, MD. After the mysterious death of his wife, George Swearingen went on the run through the frontier lands of a young country trying to evade capture. Hear the story of how a promising young sheriff became a wanted man in a historical true crime that shows love, power, and money are just as much motives for murder 200 years ago as they are today.
