Horrible History

42 - Poitiers, France & Tacoma, WA (Worst. Scavenger Hunt. Ever.)


Listen Later

Today we're heading to Poitiers, France to hear the story of Blanche Monnier, an aristocrat's daughter that loved love and wouldn't break up with her boyfriend, even if it meant being locked up for 25 years in total darkness. Then we head to Tacoma, Washington to talk about the kidnapping (turned horrible scavenger hunt) of nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser. Hopefully, you're horrified.
