In Part 2, Tracy talks about how Earle goes to Canada and continues murdering women. After two murders in Canada, many outfit changes, visits to several towns, an attempt to cross the border back into the US, and an actual town mob hunting him down, he is apprehended by authorities. Although he has committed dozens of murders, he is only tried for the final two attributed to him. Tracy goes through the trial and investigations.
For research, Tracy referenced two books: The Laughing Gorilla by Robert Graysmith and The Gorilla Man Strangler Case by Alvin Esau

In Part 1, Tracy talks about the origins of Earle Nelson, his traumatic upbringing, both parents dying, his multiple traumatic brain injuries, and bouts of syphilis (which offered possible mercury and arsenic poisonings as treatment), his insatiable sexual appetite, and his overt religious fervor. Nelson had serval aliases and traveled all across the US to strangle women to death and sexually assault them post-mortem. There is a very long list of murders attributed to him and he worked in so quickly and randomly, he was very hard to pin down by authorities.
For research, Tracy referenced two books: The Laughing Gorilla by Robert Graysmith and The Gorilla Man Strangler Case by Alvin Esau
The cocktail for this episode is The Dirty Wanderer. It's simple and classic.

2 oz. gin
1/2 dry vermouth
5 shakes olive bitters
Olives in vermouth

Tracy talks about the disappearance and probable rape and murder of 14 year old Thora Chamberlain. Thomas Henry McMonigle is the primary suspect and all evidence points to his guilt. He tries his best to throw the FBI off his trail, but he's not very cunning and he isn't successful. This story is a total wild-goose chase that involves other people and uncovers more murders or possible murders. Tracy relied on the book The Murder of Thor’s Chamberlain by Rod Kackley.
The cocktail for this episode is a classic; Mai Tai! It's tropical and delicious- we used the original Trader Vic's recipe.
CLASSIC MAI TAI
1 1/2 oz. aged rum
1/2 oz. Grand Marnier
3/4 oz. lime juice
1 oz. orgeat syrup
1 oz. dark rum
Shake all ingredients over ice; aside from the dark rum. Strain into glass over fresh ice. Float dark rum over the top. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, a cherry, pineapple wedges, and a lime wedge.
