Episode 80 - Arsenic, Bras & More Arsenic: Connecticut's Notorious Murders
This week on Spine-Chilling Chats Podcast, Manda takes us deep into Connecticut’s darkest corners with not one, not two, but three of the state’s most unsettling serial killer cases. She starts with the infamous Amy Archer-Gilligan, the seemingly caring nursing home owner whose gentle smile hid a chilling secret—and a deadly supply of arsenic. Then things take a twisted turn with The Bra Murders, a series of brutal strangulations that left investigators scrambling and the community terrified as they searched for the predator behind the signature weapon. Finally, Manda closes out the episode with the cold, calculated crimes of Lydia Sherman, another Connecticut poisoner whose deadly use of arsenic earned her the nickname “The Derby Poisoner.” From poison to strangulation and back to poison again, this trio of cases offers a disturbing look at the many faces of murder in the Nutmeg State. Grab your mug of tea, turn down the lights, and settle in—it’s going to be a spine-chilling ride. **Trigger Warning for talk of sexual abuse and murder, including that of children. Please take care while listening.
