We’re at the finish line! Today we wrap up the series about Earle Leonard Nelson, The Gorilla Man Strangler who murdered at least 22 women across the US and Canada. We will cover his capture, arrest, and I will give you the Sara’s Cliff’s Notes of the trial- because we know that trials suck. We will also cover his execution.

Did you know that a brutal and tragic mass murder occurred inside the home that renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed and lived in? The legacy of the Frank Lloyd Wright is long-lasting, but did you also know that he was a fucking twat? We are going to talk about all of it, here today. And as it seems to be for many, greatness and riches can also come with narcissism and tragedy.
