Episode notes
A Clarkston man has confessed to a robbery he committed nearly 50 years ago — and in this episode of the Lewiston Tribune Podcast, reporter Dean Ferguson joins Matt Baney to break down the remarkable story of Kerry Houston, the 17-year-old who clubbed a man behind a Lewiston grocery store in 1975 and stole $80… then kept the secret for half a century.
After decades of guilt, Houston reached out to the Lewiston Tribune hoping to identify the victim, repay the money tenfold, and make peace with the past.
