Extra Credit: Manson Family Updates & Insights, Black Jack Ketchum’s Brutal End, and the Parrot Who Helped Solve a Crime

This week, we’re talking Charles Manson and the gang once more, with some fascinating insight from our friend James Dawson from The Manson Archives. Charlotte brings us the old timey story of American outlaw “Black Jack” Ketchum, whose hanging went horribly wrong at the hands of an inexperienced executioner. Dina covers the case of a parrot who helped crack a murder in a way only a parrot could, and we also touch on a new update in the Madeleine McCann case after a woman claiming to be the missing child appeared in court for stalking the McCanns. As always, we wrap things up with a strange and unusual death.Come hang out with us on YouTube on Saturdays at 12pm (mst)! https://www.youtube.com/@TheGrimCurriculum/videosExtra Credit Every Second Wednesday at at 12pm (mst)!https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_u7l4tepCoX4zW6PW05-Oyo703LL7wx5&si=sUvQwGsOJNFIymELWatch the video episode on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/TheGrimCurriculumPUT OUR MERCH ON YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR HOMEthegrimcurriculum.threadless.comTell YOUR stories on the next episode of Grim Encounters!
