In this chilling episode of Melanated Crimes, we dive into the haunting story of Clementine Barnabet — a young Black woman at the center of one of America’s most mysterious and gruesome crime sprees. Between 1911 and 1912, Louisiana and Texas were terrorized by a string of brutal axe murders, leaving entire families slain in their beds. Was Clementine truly the cold-blooded killer she confessed to be, or a victim of hysteria, racism, and manipulation in the Jim Crow South? Through detailed storytelling, eerie atmosphere, and historical insight, we explore the blurred lines between myth, madness, and truth. Join us as we unravel the twisted tale of the so-called “Voodoo Murderess,” and question what really happened behind the headlines.
