About this episode
Sisters Christine and Lea Papin committed a horrible brutal murder in France in 1933. Both sisters were live in servants in a big mansion owned by the Lancelin family. They had worked there dutifully for many years but over time their work began to fall off. It was pointed out often by the woman of the house, Leonie Lancelin, often in cruel ways as the the sisters would later say. One night they decided they weren't going to take it anymore.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss one of France's most notorious crimes. The sisters said they acted in self-defense but the crime scene details were such that the claim was impossible to believe. Many people said the sisters were strange and insinuated that the two were lovers.
