The Harpe Brothers
from Arcanum Obscura Hosted by Obscure Kitten
This week Nate brings the story of the Harpe brothers. Joshua Harper aka Micajah "Big" Harpe, and William Harper aka Wiley "Little" Harpe. Considered to be the first american serial killers, or at least documented ones. They were British Crown Loyalists who terrorized settlers near the Appalachian Mountains during the American Revolution. After a bout of true crime episodes I chime in at the end with a small snippet, a kind of feel good story and pretty amazing story at that.
