This week Maggie from Feminist History joins Jasmin as they discuss the history and horrors behind Blackwell's Lunatic Asylum. 

Built in the early 19th century the asylum was initially only meant to house 250 people. It quickly became overcrowded and lack of funding combined with a host of bad ideas lead to egregious human rights violations.  The stories that made it out of the asylum have served as the inspiration for countless pieces of pop culture over the last century including AHS: Asylum.

**TW/CW- abuse, sexual assault

In 1922, a small town just north of Munich, Germany was rocked by the most brutal killings anyone would remember for the next century. Someone had murdered an entire family and then lived with their corpses for days. The town was at a loss and interviewed over 100 potential suspects. Everyone seemed to have their own theory (and new theories continue to be presented to this day) but no one was able to solve it.

Join Jasmin as she studies this case and looks into the most likely suspects. 

Who do you think did it?
