Ep. 15: The Papin Sisters

This week, Hannah sheds light on the fateful night that Christine and Lea Papin savagely murdered their employer and her daughter in a fit of rage. Was it classism pushed to its limit? A bizarre mental illness bred from a life of isolation and trauma? Pure and simple retaliation? All of the above?
