Episode 35: The Broadnax Murders
📍 Featured Address: 1706 East 12th Street, Austin, Texas
In 2012, inside a modest home in East Austin, three lives were extinguished in what appeared to be a drug deal turned execution. Carla Reed, George Stewart, and Tiffani Hill were shot in the head — their bodies left for days as the city outside carried on unaware. The man arrested for the crime was Raymond Broadnax, a Houston ex-con with a long history and a short fuse.
This episode explores not just the murders, but the haunting stillness that clings to the house where they happened — a property that still stands today, worn and watching. We trace the investigation, the conflicting narratives, and the slow grind of a justice system that convicted a man but couldn’t offer closure.
It’s a story of silence, cycles of violence, and a forgotten home in a rapidly gentrifying city — where memory is often bulldozed, but trauma lingers in the walls.
⚠️ Content Warning: Graphic descriptions of gun violence and murder. Listener discretion is advised.
