Ep. 72 Luby's Cafeteria Massacre

from Murder Bucket Hosted by Hannah Palmer

On October 16 1991, George Hennard drove his truck into the front of the Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas. Many people thought it was an accident until he pulled a gun out and began shooting. In the midst of all of this, a patron who stood 6' 6" threw himself through one of the windows to create an opening for people to escape. Because if this selfless act, he saved several people. We are discussing the shooting, the immediate aftermath, news coverage, how one patron took a stand for conceal carry laws and much more.

It Was Simple: The Betty Broderick Murders Los Angeles Times These were murders that would turn any town on its head, but La Jolla, Calif? That rich jewel by the sea? Thirty years ago, a man and his new wife were murdered in their bed. That’s a long time for a double homicide to stay in the public eye and imagination, but these were no ordinary murders. The killer was the man’s first wife, Betty Broderick. Betty and Dan Broderick had looked like the perfect couple, right up until they weren’t. After four children and nearly 15 years of marriage, after the riches they both worked for were finally within reach, he walked out and began having an affair with his assistant. But divorce ended the Brodericks’ marriage only on paper. “Till death do you part” turned out to be the way it would ultimately end: bitter, savage and fatal. It took two criminal trials to send Betty Broderick to prison, and we’ll hear not only from her divorce attorney, but also from the criminal defense attorney who argued for her in two murder trials, plus the foreman of the j The Thing About Pam NBC News Two days after Christmas, 2011, Russ Faria came home from game night to find his wife, Betsy, dead.
