A Body Under The Stairs

About this episode

Mrs. Peete’s Private Burials

Episode 420 recalls one of America’s lesser-known serial killers, Louise Peete. There’s never been a book or a movie about her, yet during her murderous career, her Southern charm and polite matronly manner made her a nation-wide front page sensation, with some newspapers printing literally every word of her trial as well as fawning feature stories.

Culled from the historic pages of the Los Angeles Express, the Los Angeles Times, and other newspapers from the era.
