Edward Hall, a minister, and Eleanor Mills, a member of his choir, were found together, dead, on an improvised 'lovers' lane' near an abandoned farmhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in September of 1922. Edward had been a popular minister at St. John’s Episcopal Church, and was the husband of Frances Stevens Hall, an heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune. Eleanor was a working-class homemaker married to Jim Mills, the parish sexton; and, she sang soprano in the choir at St. John's. Hall and Mills had been having an affair for a few years; and it had been a poorly kept secret. But the best kept secret is: who killed them?

Humans have always committed crimes. What can we learn from the criminals and crimes of the past, and have humans gotten better or worse over time?
