The Monster Next Door: Joseph Palczynski

Baltimore, 2000. A woman named Tracy Whittle did everything right. She got the protective order. She cut contact. She tried to move on. He killed her anyway.What followed was eleven days that paralyzed an entire city — four people dead, a family taken hostage, and more than 400 officers who couldn't stop one man with a gun and nothing left to lose.This week, Anthony and Dana go inside the Joseph Palczynski rampage: the warning signs everyone saw and no one could stop, the standoff that had Baltimore holding its breath, and the fifteen-year-old boy who ended it when no one else could.This is the story of what happens when the system fails a woman who did everything right — and what it costs the people left behind to survive it.Caviar & Criminals is a true crime and pop culture podcast hosted by Anthony Kurtz & Dana Parisi.
