EP 59. The “High’s Ice Cream” Murders

A quiet store. Two young women. A killing silenced for over four decades.

In 1967, Constance Smootz Hevener and Carolyn Hevener Perry were murdered inside the High’s Ice Cream shop in Staunton, Virginia. The case went cold for 42 years—until a dying woman came forward with a confession. Her motive? Years of teasing over her sexuality. What followed was a tangled web of shame, abuse, and buried secrets from small-town America.

This episode uncovers one of the longest-running unsolved lesbian-related hate crimes—and the quiet confession that finally cracked it open.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.
