The Bitter Blood Murders- Part 2
In Part 2 of Bitter Blood, we step away from the first murders and travel backward — into the history of a powerful Southern family whose legacy would help shape one of the most disturbing true crime cases in American history.
This episode introduces the Sharp family of North Carolina: respected, educated, and deeply influential. From a celebrated lawyer and politician to children who became doctors, judges, and public servants, the Sharps appeared to embody success, morality, and Southern respectability.
But behind the polished reputation was a rigid belief system built on control, superiority, and silence.
At the center of this chapter is Dr. Frederick Klenner — a brilliant, controversial physician whose extreme views, unchecked authority, and obsession with power left a lasting mark on his family, especially his son, Fritz. Raised in isolation and immersed in apocalyptic thinking, conspiracy, and absolute obedience, Fritz would grow up believing he was destined for something greater — and more dangerous — than ordinary life.
Part 2 is not just backstory. It’s the psychological and ideological foundation of the violence to come.
Because before the bloodshed, before the headlines, and before nine people lost their lives…there were beliefs that made it all feel justified.
🎙️ Bitter Blood is a four-part series. New listeners are strongly encouraged to start with Part 1.
