Wineville Chicken Coop Murders: Walter Collins and Many Other Young Victims Who Fell Prey to Stewart Northcott

This week Kendra is taking a dark turn into the twisted story of the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders. Many of us have watched the movie The Changeling focused on the sad tale of the disappearance of Walter Collins and how horribly the police handled the case. However, there is much more to the story and unfortunately many other young children fell victim to a dangerous predator cruising the streets of LA in the late 1920s. 

Stewart Northcott was an entitled, spoiled child that grew up with no consequences leading him to become a complete monster by his teenage years. His mother, Louise, knew this and would cover up crimes for her darling boy. No one could have imagined the depths of depravity Stewart would visit at such a young age to fulfill his sadistic urges. 

Listen now for all of the details of this oft forgotten serial killer and how he was caught and brought to justice.
