This is another old case that Daphne takes us through. The case is solved yet has a lot of unanswered questions and what if's. You know we hate that, almost as much as we hate an unsolved case. We are still puzzled how she escaped the mental institutions not once, not twice, but seven times!!! Maybe increase security just a thought. Hope you all enjoy.

Deadly Women Season 3 Episode 6

Alvin Karpis of the Barker-Karpis Gang was an American gangster who terrorized the states in the 1930s. He was even named one of the Public Enemies #1 by the FBI (he was in a four way tie for first place, LOL)! He spent time in Alcatraz and even became buddies with Charles Manson during his stay at McNeil Island Pen. This case is a thrilling whirlwind of really high highs, except the people dying part… but that’s why you’re listening right?

This episode was inspired by our love of urban legends of all types. These latin urban legends are some cautionary tales and others are just to scare the crap out of children. Gayle had fun exploring the roots of these stories and the variations from country to country. Daphne had fun ripping them apart!! No wonder we are all scared of the dark.

The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre occurred on... you guessed it! Valentine's Day in 1929! On this day, seven of Bugs Moran's North Side Gang members were gathered for a meeting when they were gunned down by the police. Or was it the police? Speculation points to Al Capones South Side Gang being the ones responsible for this attack. Allegedly, Irish and Italian turf wars were what led to the violence that is still unsolved to this day. Happy Valentine's Day!

The Cecil Hotel was built with the intention of being an opulent hotel for Hollywood tourists and society's elite. Those plans foiled when the Great Depression happened and the hotel became a place of occupancy for those living on Skid Row, those looking to end it all and serial killers. Trigger warning: suicide.
