Crime, Wine & Chaos

Episode 95 - The Spahalski Brothers & Siegfried and Roy


Listen Later

This week Erika covers the Spahalski Brothers. Robert and Stephen were twins and grew up in Elmira, New York. What they say about the TWIN bond is true when it came to these two. They knew where the other one was at all times, they knew what they were doing and they were both gifted gymnasts and had the chance to go far with their skills. Unfortunately, they also had more similarities that sadly weren’t so great. They were both gifted gymnasts and had the chance to go far with their skills. Instead they both chose a life of crime.  They would both become murderers, they would kill at different times in their lives, but they would also end up serving time together.

Then Amber covers Siegfried and Roy and the tiger attack on Roy Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn met as teenagers on a German cruise ship. Roy was a server and Siegfried was a magician. Roy challenged Siegfried to think bigger about his act and to incorporate wild cats into his routine. This is how the famous Siegfried and Roy act was born. For over 40 years the duo captivated audiences until one night in October of 2003 when something went terribly wrong.
