Horrible History

36 - Los Angeles, CA (A Trauma Trifle)


Listen Later

This week, Rachel and Emily both travel to Los Angeles, CA. First Rachel tackles a big story, another tale of folie à deux and two of the 70s' most feared serial killers: the Hillside Stranglers. Then, Emily tells the story of obstetrics nurse Norma Jean Armistead, a horrible woman that went way too far to have a baby. Hopefully, you're horrified.

Trigger Warning: sexual assault, gruesome violence, stillbirth/miscarriage
