9: The Lawson Family Murders: The 1929 Christmas Day Massacre

from That's Disturbing - True Crime Podcast · host Daphne King and Gayle King - True Crime Podcast Hosts

In this episode, we explore the chilling case of the Lawson Family Murders, a tragic and mysterious mass killing that took place on Christmas Day in 1929 in rural North Carolina. Charlie Lawson shocked his small farming community when he murdered his wife and six of his seven children before taking his own life. Nearly a century later, the case still raises haunting questions: What drove him to commit such an unthinkable act? Were there warning signs? And why did the surviving son escape the massacre? We examine the timeline, the strange behavior leading up to the murders, and the lasting folklore that continues to surround this Appalachian tragedy. And stop creeping on the house people!  https://www.thestokesnews.com/news/23397/90-years-gonehttps://www.ncdcr.gov/blog/2016/12/25/story-lawson-familyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_the_Lawson_familyhttps://southerncalls.com/article/the-lawson-family-tragedy/https://horrorobsessive.com/2020/12/21/christmas-mass-murder-the-lawson-family/https://murderpedia.org/male.L/l/lawson-charles-davis.htmhttps://myfox8.com/news/deadly-secrets-lawson-family-murder-christmas-day-1929-episode-1/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7944200/marie-lavon-lawsonhttps://medium.com/murder-mystery-and-mayhem-in-the-old-north-state/the-lawson-family-murders-229b83b4d292
