In this episode of Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan, we examine the 1929 Lawson family murders in Germanton, North Carolina. What began as a respected farming family preparing for Christmas ended in one of the most disturbing family annihilations in American history. With no clear motive and only fragmented clues left behind, the case raises unsettling questions about intent, mental health, and secrecy. Nearly a century later, the mystery surrounding what drove Charlie Lawson to kill his family continues to haunt investigators, historians, and the community he left behind.
