Ep. 39 - The Horrors of 1140 Royal Street [Infamous]

Picture it, New Orleans April 1834; Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie, one of the city’s most prominent residents is living her best life. While hosting an early morning garden party without a care in the world suddenly, a fire at her home exposes her for the truly vile, reprehensible creature she really is. At that point, Madame LaLaurie quickly realized she was no longer one of the social elite of New Orleans. She was now a social pariah and very likely the most hated woman in New Orleans. Join Arielle and Amanda as they discuss one of the cruelest, most prolific female serial killers in history, often referred to as The Savage Mistress.
