Real Talk With Jayden Perkins

Velma Barfield was a sweet, loving, God-fearing grandmother that was cherished by her community. But unbeknownst to most, her and her husband, Thomas Burke, were at odds again. Velma had recently gotten a hysterectomy and became addicted to her painkillers. Thomas started drinking heavily and the two constantly argued. On April 4, 1969, Thomas was passed out on the couch after another disagreement. Velma had taken the kids and left, but when they returned, the house was burned to the ground, with Thomas’ body later found in the destruction. This was the first of many people that mysteriously died in the presence of Velma Barfield. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jaypeezy/support
