Are there people who walk among us with a dark secret? A secret so shocking that it's not even thought possible? Does sadism have a face? Yes... there are many. But, this one is Madame Delphine Marie LaLaurie.

This is a rough one guys. This week the ONUC gals discuss Madame LaLaurie and the fire at 1140 Royal Street. They dive into the Mina Conspiracy, the Pointe Coupee Conspiracy, and the German Coast Uprising. Leah leaves us for a bit as Kayla tells you all about the 'top room' at the LaLaurie Mansion.

What do Madame LaLaurie, the Axeman, and the UpStairs Lounge all have in common? N'awlins, of course.

This week the ONUC gals dive into première partie (part one) of the case of Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie. This isn't your typical two part episode though because the first episode is all about New Orleans. There are three true crime episodes that go along with New Orleans that we decided to dive into to go along with the horror that is Madame LaLaurie. Buckle up as the gals discuss the Axeman of New Orleans, Zack Brown and Addie Hall, and last but certainly not least the arson of the UpStairs Lounge.
