In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles Donnie and Dale discuss the life and death of Lieth Von Stein (sometimes spelled Leith Von Stein) (March 16, 1946 - July 25, 1988) who was an American man whose murder launched a well-known trial in North Carolina. An executive at National Spinning, a textile factory in Washington, North Carolina, Von Stein was stabbed and bludgeoned to death by James Bartlett Upchurch III as the result of a plot masterminded by his stepson Chris Pritchard, with whom Von Stein reputedly had had an antagonistic relationship. https://crackhousechronicles.com/ Check out our MERCH! https://www.teepublic.com/user/crackhousechronicles Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Lieth_Von_Stein https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/a-young-man-turns-the-death-of-his-parents-into-a-game https://loriajohnston.medium.com/murder-in-little-washington-9e8db610a8f9
