Love Me Not: The New Orleans Trunk Murders (LIVE FROM TCPF)
At the end of the Roaring Twenties, New Orleans was rocked by one of the grizzliest murder scenes the city had ever seen. 715 Ursulines Avenue was the home of the Moity brothers, their wives, and children. They had been drawn to the city by the call of promise and opportunity, but the move wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. It wasn’t long before the families fell apart in the most dramatic way possible: a double homicide. Join us today as we record LIVE from the True Crime Podcast Festival in Dallas, TX, with Briana taking us through the case and touching on some of the hot button topics of the time.
