Stuart Alexander was many things—sausage maker, San Leandro native, and eventually—murderer. But he failed at the one thing he tried to be before he snapped: become the next Mayor of San Leandro. In episode 4 of The Sausage King, we learn why Stuart attempted this pivot into local politics.  His failure to regain some of the control he felt he’d lost, would prove catastrophic.

Before he was a triple murderer, Stuart Alexander ran the Santos Factory, known for making linguisa sausage. While others still make it throughout the Bay Area, people say the ones from Santos stand above all the rest. In episode 3, we meet some of Stuart's former business partners, who discuss his famous product, and infamous personality, one of whom has a surprising connection to this podcast.

A sausage maker in San Leandro, Stuart Alexander, murdered three government workers 22 years ago, seemingly out of the blue. But this event was actually the culmination of years of pent up anger, refusal to change, and a belief that he could get away with whatever he wanted. 

This first episode scratches the surface of what drove Stuart’s actions and how the case has impacted his community even now, more than two decades later.

The Santos Linguisa factory was created by a family of Portuguese immigrants that settled in San Leandro a century ago. The family poured everything into the business, their legacy, paving the way for Stuart to inevitably take over, mowing down everyone and everything in his path to get it. Episode two traces Stuart’s young life up until this moment, charting how his temper and violence began as early as high school.
