The Blood River Matter: Lynch Mob Justice

Posted April 9, 2025 · 30 min

About this episode

Johnny Dollar travels to the remote town of Blood River to investigate the shooting of local legend Max Colburn. With no transportation into town, hostile locals, and a dying witness, Johnny faces a tangled web of secrets, suspicion, and vengeance. When an old enemy of Colburn’s is arrested and then lynched by a vigilante mob, Johnny begins to suspect the real killer is still at large. What follows is a gripping search for the truth in a town determined to protect its own—no matter the cost. This chilling episode examines what happens when justice is replaced by fear and silence. Cast: Edmund O’Brien, Virginia Gregg, Bill Conrad, Junius Matthews, Sammy Hill, Clayton Post, Tyler McVeigh, Dave Light, Howard Culver Become a supporter of this podcast
