Episode 7: Thumper

This week on Peebles for the People:

Two people now told sheriff’s investigators that James “Thumper” Steen bragged about disposing of Heidi Allen’s body at a cabin in the woods. In 2010 Steen executed his estranged wife and boyfriend with a shotgun in Pulaski, New York. This horrific crime ended in a seven hour standoff with police, during which Steen received a text message from a friend that read: “Heidi?” Despite this unconscionable crime the Oswego County Sheriff, Mo Todd, would later describe Steen as a good guy. A jury convicted Steen and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
