In the tradition of swindlers coming to the Midwest to slick-talk the "hicks" out of their money, I present this #longreads story from me, @SpaldingJulia, and @derek_j_rob: indianapolismonthly.com/longform/half-… Huge thanks to those who helped us tell this story. Many of our sources signed confidentiality agreements but talked to us anyway because they felt it was important for people to know who Rebecca Raffle is. I hope readers get an idea, but you can never be sure.
